Just curious, why do people pay DeRosa prices for DeRosas? What makes them so great?

You should ask someone who owns one. My vintage bike is a Trek.

Somebody really wants to get their old speedo working. My only guess was that it might have the same electronic guts as an Avocet.

Rusty spray painted Ciocc anyone?

This is labeled as "Italian Fixed Gear Project"





Price of $75 might be not too far off, but just so painful to look at.

I was intrigued too, but I thought it would be too sad.

But even if the frame was ruined, I could sell the new fixie wheelset to some kid and be one Campy headset richer.

Haha, they are really hyping Dura Ace EX for it just being a sticker. Now I am curious why this bike has that sticker. Were there Raleighs built with DA EX and this one was rebuilt with its current components? Or maybe that's just a random sticker that was slapped on this bike at some point decades ago.

The saddle really completes the package here. Priced to move, too.

Now this is a Derosa

Prices up here in Ontario, especially southern Ontario, has gone (like ebay) through the roof.
Someone asked previously about a Derosa. Here's a Canadian version with a 'modest' price tag.

Hmmm, I'd maybe like to buy this tire, but let me see which New England state the seller is in and how far I'd have to travel... [zooms out on location map] wait, is that the Equator??

Ah, yes! 0 degrees latitude, 0 degrees longitude, or "The GPS doesn't know where I am so I'm at the default point."
