De Rosa King (2003?) - 54/M - Campag Record (mostly)!!!!!

Continued downsizing (after selling my Capo :-( ) so I have a De Rosa King (from 2003 I think) for sale. I can't bear to part with my other two Cannondales (an early SuperSix Evo Nano Black Inc and a CAAD12 disc in the Dura Ace/purple colour!) so I'm letting this one go to get to my minimum bike parc (i.e. 2).
I bought this 4-5 months ago to use as a winter trainer (while keeping the SuperSix under wraps inside!), but ended up not using it thta much (what with one things and another). Anyway, it is in decent nick for a 17 year old bike with just a bit of pealing to some of the lacquer (I can't find any significant chips/scratches etc). Details as follows:

Frameset: De Rosa King - probably a 54 (it has a 54cm effective top tube; seat tube is 49cm c-t)
Wheels: Mavic Ksyrium ES 10th anniversary Helium edition (I will swap out the res skewers for some proper Mavic ones)
Groupset: Campagnolo Record 10 speed (apart from FSA carbon cranks with 50/39 Supertype chainrings - Record square taper BB)
Bars: Focus Concept (it originally had Ritchey carbon bars and seatpost, but nabbed these for another bike - I haven't put any bar tape on because I figure that you will swap out the bars at least!)
Seatpost: Chinese EC90
Saddle: Generic Focus

It will also come with an Italian thread GPX bottom bracket - I tried it with an SRAM Red compact chainset, but have put the 'original' back on (I haven't managed to index the front derailleur properly yet, but will have another go over the week end when the weather is more clement!).

Asking £500 (let me know if I'm way off), which is a good bit less than I paid for it and I think a good price for a reasonably high end Italian carbon number. Pick up from Battersea (SW8) and payment via PayPal/bank transfer preferred (but I can be a bit flexible if necessary!). Dibs followed by PM seems fairest. And q's just let me know. Cheers

Need this gone - price drop to £450!

Dibs/pm’d for the Mrs

If not sold and you could post to Bristol I might be interested depending on real BB saddle measurement...

Let me know please

Hi @fixedwheel123 - I have some interest for pick up so will explore that and let you know. Not sure what you mean by actual BB saddle measurement. The 49cm seat tube measurement is the actual measurement from the centre of the BB to the top of the seat tube (the measurement to the saddle will depend on how much seat post you have showing). Cheers

Cheers.

Re measurements... if you measure the distance between middle of BB and top of the saddle? Thank you

So, measurement from BB to saddle (with seat post at its lowest) is 57cm. Cheers

Would this suit someone 5’6”?

This is sold, thanks!
