Managed to get this De Rosa frame on eBay for a bargain after a drunken best offer bid got accepted. A few days later it arrived and it is amazing.

Hubs bought and wheel build next week with a full Italian build coming up.

Woo Hoo!!!

Lovely. Any more information on the frame? Looks well loved. I have not-so-secret lust for a Titanio.

Looks exactly like my Professional Slx.

Mine was made to order in 1993, and is awesome, I just wish I had more time to ride it more often.

So here it is for some inspiration or not.

That bike looks amazing guii. Don't think I can top that as I'm only putting Atlanta rims on my hubs.

Looks lovely. I love a spot of drunken eBaying myself. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

If anyone has a 27.2 aero campy seatpost for sale that would be great. eBay is crazy prices.

Got some Silver Record hubs in the mail today. Rear needs a bit of an overhaul as not so smooth. Front is all good. Once fixed up, I'll autosol them to a mirror finish and get them built up to some Atlanta rims.
Seatpost on the way. Bargain £16 off eBay. Top tip, don't advertise campagnolo seatposts on eBay, purely as "seatpost". You won't get what it's worth.
Wondering whether I should get Giro D'Italia bars or Campione Del Mondo.

Had a lot on but this will be finished up soon. Retro di corsa is sorting me out with a groupset. Wheels being built this week.

Wheels sorted. Record Hubs with Atlanta rims.

Retro Di Corsa is selling and fitting the groupset for me. Just need time to get it to him. So should be finished soon.

Bike is all done and picked up from RetroDiCorsa. He sold and fitted the groupset for a very reasonable price. I've stuck a couple of King bottle cages on there and after this weekend will be taking her out for a long ride to find some hills.

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
