Pant-wettingly excited.

"Dear Tom

Your De Rosa is ready, I will have it in the store tomorrow"

Win!

i am waiting for a similar call from mercian who are repainting a frame :)

get pics up mr tom when she is built. i do like a De Rosa.

Way to order a bike!

Nice - which model are you getting? I own two, one of which is converted to fixed.

Going to be geared, though. It'd be a crime not to.

tasty

im seatstays and a pint job away from finishing my frame.. its in the jig now calling to me..

Very nice tom. One of mine is a Titanio, bought back in 1999 and it's still a delight to ride. I hope yours brings you as much fun as mine has.

you building a frame chris... nice job ? i saw some very poor photo on another thread anychance of a decent picture of it ? are you doing the welding yourself ?? when you get back you'll have to set up a master class !! bring your own reynolds tubing and start building

i'm building with help of Steve Gibbs at Brew. i did all the tacking, and some of the welding but at the moment my tiging looks like thoothpaste, so i let him do the more visible welds. seting up shop is the plan. pictures will come on monday when i get home and open up the bike box.

Hell yeah tom, lookin good. I saw about 1000 of those when i was touring italy. I felt inadequate. Then I realized I was on a steel handbuilt pogliaghi doing this shit fixed with a full mess bag. Fucking guid-ginas.

sure do. jjdrury@gmail.com Fixed brompton?

mr_tom [quote]Brooklyn Jack Crank Hells yes I would! You better bring that damned whip with you too. It'd be my pleasure to show you around a bit. Been alright?

It's all good. I doubt the De Rosa will be ready to travel in Feb, as I still need to get wheels and a groupset for it (The 'ready' is due to the fact that it's a custom build). I'm planning on bringing (whisper it) a Brompton, as it can be flown for cheap and stored in a hotel room without any grief.

Do you do email? I am tom@sulston.net and will fire you something when I'm in the new country.[/quote]
