Hey all,
First post, so thought I'd share my tatty old bike I'm not riding
I bought this frame and fork about 10 years ago, believing it to be be a De Rosa Professional SLX. I think its early 90's as it has the internal rear brake routing but not sure. I did send the serial number to De Rosa and ask them for the paint code. I got an email back from Christano De Rosa himself no else, but he couldn't really tell me any more info. I built it up with some campaq veloce 9 speed, and threw on some modernish mavics I had spare (which I think look ok on it).
As I said I don't use it as I'm doing longer audax type rides now, and even thought could I turn it into a rando bike?! Apart from obvious drawbacks like tire clearance, geometry, gearing. I could get a dynamo wheelset, front rack, and larger cassette or turn it into a triple. Probably a ridiculous idea.
Anyway if anyone knows more about these frames, please share.
Cheers,
Rick
