I am testing the water with a 1973 De Rosa I recently acquired praying it would fit me, but it just isnt working for me.
Its 56cm ctc seat tube and top tube.
Its sat in a garage for 20 years and has 47 years worth of patina but still looks great in the sunshine.
Nuovo record throughout with nuovo super record large chainring.
Headset and bb are super smooth with no play.
Pantographed cinelli stem and pantographed NR seatpost.
Wheels are junk and want replacing but they are round and they roll.
Id love to keep it but it'll just be an expensive ornament.
Frame is solid and not rusty or cracked but paint has marks the worst being under top tube where its been hung on bike hooks, chrome has patina chainstays being the worst near to the seat tube join. All lug joints are good.
No idea how to price this as they rarely come up for sale. Id rather it go to a collector or someone who will love it rather than strip for bits. I know what the panto parts and other components are worth but as a complete 47 year old bike, its a rare and beautiful thing...
Had some advice on price.... lets say £1250 0no
I havent seen another like this for sale under 2k but they're restored and near mint bikes..
Too much? Not enough?
