De Rosa Team Track

Hello,

Saw this listed a couple weeks back (first thread) and I instantly lusted over it.

Sold off some bits I didn't need and bought it off telescope1608 and now I'm in the process of procuring some bits whilst awaiting the package.

Frame & Fork: De Rosa Team Track 56x56 w/ uncut Alpina Track fork / Campagnolo internal headset / Painted Deda OS ahead

Powertrain: Dura Ace BB-7700 / FC-7710 chainset / 49t FC-7710 ring / Dura Ace 16t / Izumi / Alium
Wheels & Tyres: HSON TB14 Dark Ano x 32h Dura Ace 7710 / Conti Gatorskins 23c Wirebead F&R
Finishing kit: FSA Omega Compact 44 / Polished 27mm Dura Ace Easton 7410 seat post / Stripped and painted SLR Fibra / Silva De Rosa seat clamp

Yeah, to be continued I guess?

B0nor, post that pic up again please. I wanted to know which bars were on it.

Dura Ace Easton post is on its way with love from Japan and Gabe at NJS-Export.

172.5mm FC-7710 cranks are en route as well.

Counted the holes on the hubs prior to ordering the TB14s. 32h they were, not 36h. Dodged a bullet on that one.

Having seen that, you have to get the fork colour matched.

Funny I always thought the same thing and now seeing it makes me a believer.

jhheeezus. Looking forward to seeing this built up :)

Don't know if I'm liking the all-black deep carbon vibes on that build

Yeah, not a big issue. Got a guy that's insanely good with a paint gun.

Might even do a DSC type thing on the inside of the forklegs.

What bars are those?

Sorry not sure on the bars, but more info here: http://fixie-king.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14509

Deep carbon looks sweet.

Deep carbon looks shit.

ftfy

Blasphemy

That da rosa looks rad 2 tha max

The wheels on this are going to be 32h. Is 2cross on the NDS and 3cross on the DS recommended for tarck duty or could i just build them 2 cross all the way?

...and why are there two different versions of the FC-7710 chainring.

Any difference besides the cutouts?

Great frame! Was lusting over this as well. Lace them up 3 cross if you want to have strong wheels, 2 cross is just stupid imo.

Another vote for 3 cross lacing, much stronger build. I can't think of a good reason to have 2 cross, especially on a 32 hole rim.
I actually really like that build above with carbon rims, a bit unusual for me, but would ride it as it is.
As for the chain, silver if you go with the parts list as in the first post.

Cheers Pepe.

Small changes with the switch from EAI to DA cog, FSA Omega bars instead of Soma HWY1 and lesser teeth chainring.

Soma bars didn't make sense on this build either, unless you were planning on getting an 31.8 and silver version. FSA do the job just as well for less money.

Exactly why I went with FSA, and the fact Wiggle stocks them.

the double deep rims make perfect sense on track, pretty much none elsewhere. also 3x lacing is a must, don't even think about 2x.

@Thrust i don't know what you mean with different version of 7710 rings, when the amount of teeth exceeds 48 a small cutout appears..

Does this one have the strange rubbery paint my de Rosa had?

I noticed that after I posted the question. 49t bought from NJS-Export.

Better to have rubbery paint than flaking 'I can't even look at it without chipping' paint innit?

I have yet to take delivery but T1608 should know.

Paint isn't rubbery. It's very pearly and flamboyant.

It's just been collected by the courier - In transit!
