De Rosa Professional

This is outstanding!

Out of interest, where did you manage to get hold of brand new campagnolo aero pedals?

Mario is really nice, he packed and posted it in the same day as I payed for it. I recommend it.

I don't mind admitting I'm thoroughly envious of that. Beautiful.

Lovely.

Rear driveside brake pad is on at a strange angle. Apart from that I can't find a fault with it, almost perfect!

With those pedals do you wear normal shoes since they have the straps and toe clips, or do you have shoes with cleats on?

They look a funny shape for flat shoes but have toe clips on :S

Bikes absolutely gorgeous btw!!!!!

old shoes were available with slots, like this:

very nice de rosa build!

The pedals are for normal shoes though

How is it to ride?

I haven't ridden it yet, I'm a bit gutted. The rear derailleur was athena 1st generation and it was missing a little piece that holds the derailleur in place. It kept rising and hitting the cassete.

I went on ebay and bought a c-record one. Still waiting on it.

I've bought from this guy as well. Dude

Those sidis are lovely, can you still get them/shoes like them?

I want those pedals badly now!

Sorry for the thread jack, I would like to comment on how nice the bike is but skills like shakespear are needed to get the correct words!

woww

Rear brake

Not so small

I insist you post detail-shot photo updates every week. What tires are on it (her?) btw?

Vittoria open corsa SC. They are mounted the wrong way around just so that the logos don't come up in the photos. I'll put them right eventually.

I was lucky enough to find Clincher Shamal at an unbelievable price.

aha.
Had the same plans with the Michelin Dynamic Classics on my last build.
But i'm not sure if i will turn them after reading this on sheldonbrown.com:

Tread for on-road use
Bicycle tires for on-road use have no need of any sort of tread features; in fact, the best road tires are perfectly smooth, with no tread at all!

Unfortunately, most people assume that a smooth tire will be slippery, so this type of tire is difficult to sell to unsophisticated cyclists. Most tire makers cater to this by putting a very fine pattern on their tires, mainly for cosmetic and marketing reasons.*

Doubt i'll crash and die with the tires the wrong way around...

Supersweet. Reminds me of my late wife i still regret selling :(

wow, this has to be one of the nicest bikes i've seen..

Yesterday was picture time.

WOW!!!
