The new De Rosa King 3 RS - Version 2012 -

De Rosa King 3 RS - 2012

Roger writes:

The moment the frame arrived at the shop, we encountered a couple of very nice surprises as it is already a 2012 model:

- The rear triangle completely changed (very masculine...) and has carbon drop outs;

- Also the cable routing is now totally different, rather similar to Merak (so through steering column and underneath tube iso inside tube);

- The 'standard' version has now also 2 different size steering bearings;

- BB30 bottom bracket (no thread);

- Front derailleur not with clam.

Received the bike almost one month ago and drove over 1.5k with it already. Feels and drives excellent; Stiff, rigid, responsive.
