It is a 1986 De Rosa Professional that I have owned since 1990. It had a mix of Dura Ace (for shifting) and second generation C Record. I raced and rode her for 25 years with that configuration. In February of 2015, I decided to rebuild her with all first generation C Record except the brakes. I've had the Delta brakes since 1990 and I was not going to replace them. I love them.

 

The indoor photo is how it was before the rebuild.

Im currently restoring a 1986 De Rosa SLX with all NOS campagnolo record drivetrain with delta brakes. I got the frame from ebay. All the record components i got cheap at a local dealer who had it laying in boxes for 20 years. It has Cinelli stem and bars with orginal leather bar tape. Roval wheels which i only gave a nice polish. The wheels was given to me for free. Regina 6 speed cassette which was already on the wheelset. It still needs a front derailleur and orginal cable housing and its ready to go.

I have a building thread on a Norwegian bike forum called terrengsykkel.no
