^I too haz De Rosa with worn flite! that needs a bit of post winter sprucing up...
Over the winter the front hub flange (Hope Mono) cracked First step in the clean-up was to rebuild front wheel with a new (much) stronger front hub. The build is a tad odd in that the spokes are laced in pairs so you have 2 going to the right flange followed by 2 going to the left flange etc
Anyway, finished it today and quite pleased with the result - a tad porky at 1140g (incl. tyre/tube/skewer) - but should hopefully be bomb-proof.
