Cool bike though, the old Campy stuff is just so good looking. Even when it has a ton of miles on it, it gets "patina", not "wear".
Thanks! Yeah it’s been a long time since I’ve ridden this bike so will see how the saddle works with my bibs! I’ll probably only be on it once a week if that since the SV is my daily ride. Bonus though, a forum member steered me to this fellow who had machined spacers so that I could take a new 9spd veloce cassette, drop the largest cog and change out the spacers to work well with my 8spd chorus group and new wheels (freehub has changed the spline pattern over the years). Spacers perfectly match the blue in the DeRosa logo lol
