De Rosa Idol framesets opinions please
Hi, Has anyone got a De Rosa Idol bike and likes to share his -her experience? I am thinking of buying one.
It's from 70% T1000, & 30% T700 carbon. Is it worth considering this?
Thanks

Sexy frame, I would buy it based on aesthetics and purely superficial level! I have not really considered the carbon composition of a bike during a purchase. I am a De Rosa fan, so my view is biased. But I highly doubt you could go wrong with that frame.

The Idol is a beautiful bike. I have never ridden one but it is the bike I would buy if I were in the market for a new frame.
