I have:
DE ROSA SIGNATURE ROAD BIKE c1989 Shimano Dura-Ace
Seat Tube (ctc): 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 53.5cm (21.1in)
Rear dropout width: 128mm
Wheelsize: Sprints/700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame tubing: Columbus SLX
In the late 1980s De Rosa did a number of Signature and Replica models - this frame is from one of these series of specials. It is fitted with 8spd Shimano Dura-Ace 7402 groupset. Rolls saddle, Mavic CXP33 rims and 3TTT bars and stem. It is in excellent very lightly used condition - there are virtually no marks on the paint, just one small touched up scratch on the top tube. De Rosas really are rather special and were all built in house (unlike many Italian brands) in not large numbers to a very high standard. £795
and
COLNAGO ROAD FRAME 1973
Seat Tube (ctc) : 53cm (21in)
Top Tube (ctc): 54.5cm (21.4in)
Rear dropout width: 125mm
Wheel size: Sprints or 700C front and rear (brake drop of approx 50mm)
Bottom bracket threads: Italian
Frame Tubing: Columbus SL
Colnagos from the early 1970s are really rather uncommon - this one dates I think from 1973. Its been repainted I think about twenty years ago and little used since then. At the same time it was converted to take allen bolt fixing brakes. Its in very nice condition with just a few marks to the paint and decals. Would make a very cool conversion to fixed or singlespeed. £295
and
ITALIAN ROAD FRAME c1980 ** NEW AND UNUSED**
Seat Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Top Tube (ctc): 55cm (21.5in)
Rear dropout width: 122mm
Wheel size: Sprints/700C (brake drop 55mm)
Frame tubing: Columbus SL
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
This is a really beautifully made New Old Stock Italian road frame from c1980. The head and seat lugs are beautifully pantographed with symbol of a rider on a bike - - this image is also panto’d into the fork crown and seatstay bridge. The forks are fully chromed and the rear triangle is partly chromed. All the chrome is perfect. The standard of workmanship is excellent. I can arrange painting and can prep the the frame for BB and headset fitment. This is an excellent opportunity to get a frame painted exactly how you want it. £145
