Das gebrauchte
DE ROSA Macro (Baujahr 2003/2004) hatte ich Ende letzen Jahres auf E-Bay entdeckt und ich wußte sofort »das muß ich haben«. Kurz vor Weihnachten kam das große Päckchen. Ein paar Teile mußten noch getauscht werden wie Lenker, Vorbau und Sattelstütze. Nun ist es soweit, das
Macro ist für kommende Ausfahrten gerüstet. Ich freu mich schon darauf.
From the DE ROSA catalog 2003/2004:
»A racing bike in the high range, the Marco is distinguished by the inborn originality of its fram. Made of MCR aluminium alloy, it has an oblique head tube with a decidedly conical shape to anchor its structure better and reduce to a minimum any deformations in the bottom bracket and steering area. The steering tube is completely cylindrical with internal reinforcements to interact with the 1 1/8" carbon fork and moderate the innate exuberance of the aluminium, to the advantage of the bike´s steering ability. This does not fail to cut a fine figure alongside its more famous sisters and it can certainly be used even in long-distance racing, where the comfort guaranteed by the rear end in carbon fibre plays an essential role in allowing the rider to cross the finishing line in the best conditions.«
