Do you know if Della Santa used Jim Allen exclusively to paint his bikes, 
because the last two Della Santas (bought new from Roland by a friend) that 
I personally built up did not have Joe Bell-quality paint jobs.

I consider Jim Allen, Della Santa's painter to be equivalent in quality to 
Joe Bell, all due respect.  San Diego area, not Bay Area, but easy to work 
with, fast, responsive, and reliable.

My direct experience is that this statement is not true. I have a 2013 AHH 
and a 2019 Legolas both painted by D&D . Both are lugged frames and both 
look great.
