It's a Dave Yates build frame using Reynolds 631 and was unlucky to be resprayed to look like a De Rosa. It gets loads of attention and comments, but it'll be dressed like a proper gentleman one day.
Most parts got swapped over from my crashed Rourke, just to see how it rides, and I enjoy it a lot so far. Full Veloce 10 speed groupset that is likely to stay, stem and seat post will change. It also has got front and rear rack braze-on's and they're very likely to be used. Thinking of a small Nitto front rack and something along the lines of a Tubus Fly on a back, which will be loaded with coffee at most times.
Apart of needing new cables sometime soon, it's running well and very comfortable to ride.
While I'm here...
Got this build few weeks ago:
