I have a Colnago that is too small that rarely gets ridden because of its size. Better to have one that fits.
I don't think you can go wrong with a De Rosa of any level.
Thanks. Yesterday, I actually did a comparison with a photo of my Principia (taken before lowering the stem), scaling the photos so that the wheels matched. Allowing for error, I think the size is pretty compatible.
For various reasons, I'm going to stop myself from buying or asking questions until the beginning of next month. If it's still there, I'll then make some checks as to the bike's history. serial numbers, etc.
