DeRosa Complete
 

Spacers were in my mailbox this morning, final piece of the puzzle to use a modern freehub and space to 8speed. Thanks Jim D for getting me set in the right direction! I’ve only gone around the block so far but the bike feels awesome. Need to fine tune the headset And front brake but basically everything bang on.

That's a beauty and so glad he was able to hook you up with the spacers!

Beauty. Enjoy the ride!

Check your drop out alignment, it doesn't look square.

Beautiful bike.

Now that is a statement! Great bike, very sharp.

Those colors are hawt.

Is that 8 speed Chorus or Athena? More pics if you can.

thanks folks! Jim, bonus the spacers’ blue matches the bike. ;)

will check the dropouts thanks for the tip!

Chorus, with the exception of the seat post, headset (Mavic), and the cassettte which is a current Veloce 9spd

Wow, is that the factory color or a repaint? The wife would go nuts for a bike like that.

That's original. De Rosa had a more 'hot pink' later. I have one, not for sale.

yep this is the original although as mentioned above it was a much hotter pink originally. The fading was a result of my moving many times and the bike sitting outside on a bunch of balconies. I was going to restore original but then decided I really like the fade!

Pink bikes do get attention
