De Rosa Professional

So even though I'm not a Londoner or living in the UK, I do check the forum everyday, and because I bought this frame off the classifieds here I decided to post my current project.

It's a De Rosa Professional, and the frame was made in 93.

In the background there's a Gios Torino from which I will take the athena group off. This bike was also bought here. The frame will be up for sale soon.

So anyhow I'm in the middle of the project and I am struggling a bit with the BB. I can't find the right size of bearings and ordered a sealed bearing Veloce. Hope that is not too shameful on my account.

The wheels are the campagnolo Shamal 16 spoke. I will try to post another pic later on in the day.

So here is a sneak preview while I wait for the BB and the pedals

It was hard work, almost 7 months looking for parts but it was worth it, strangely enough the frame was one of the last things.

Hope you enjoy the pictures, more to come of the details.

from now on this bike will be my FAV classic road bike
