»My De Rosa was restored by me recently, as the original paint was atacked by rust. As I intend to ride this as my main bike I chose to give it a longer life over keeping it original in its paint.

However, I am not done with the restoration just yet, its still lacking some details, the image was taken as an teaser for my friends but you are welcome to post it if you like, but it will be upgraded somewhat still, the wheels will be tubular low profile gray anodized wolber super champion for instance, pedals will be clipless, cables will be cut. It will look even better then.«

De Rosa Nuovo Classico from Detroit, Michigan, USA

Amit writes:

»Bikes from this generation are amazing, which is why I was excited to join the old-italian steel club. How amazing, I can only try and tell you. It feels like sitting on the tip of a whip being cracked. Instant pedal to acceleration response. It's wicked light and exceptionally agile. I enjoy this bike so much. Oh, except for the Campagnolo Delta Brakes, which are more for show than for stopping.«

De Rosa SLX from Munich, Germany

Michal writes:

»Finially I got my first beautiful DE ROSA. Unfortunately it is to big for me the size is 57c-c I need max 56 c-c (Pefect 54 or 55) Maybe there is someone who would like to swap.

The bike is in almost new condition, with original BILL from 1991 (thats when my dad bought it) , oh and a full 9 speed campa Chorus.

so maybe there is someone with a nice de Rosa that might be a little to small«

De Rosa Professional SL – 1983

Dave writes:

»I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of the DeRosa you have shown. I still have mine (attachment) and ride it today. They made some good machines back in the day. I wish I could find the original cherry red paint and decals but pretty old bicycle now. If I could ever get to the point of affording a new bike, I'd get another DeRosa for sure.

I am cycling again this year in the Tour De Cure American Diabetes Association 62 mile ride in Long Beach, CA May 1st, 2011. I am riding to help fight Diabetes for Dennis and everyone who lives with Diabetes.«
