I know this is stretching vintage and classic quite a bit - but the frame is nearly 20 years old... ;-)

Been building this 2003 De Rosa Planet (aluminium frame with carbon rear stays and front fork) for a while. My most modern bike and I originally bought it (cheap) to get some parts from it (10V Chorus ergopower - for their aluminium handles) - and planned to sell the "leftovers". But then I took a look in my parts stash and realized I had the right stuff to complete it. And I actually like the bike! Totally out of my comfort zone but/and it is nice to build something else than what I usually build.

10V Record all thru but for the rear hub that is Chorus. It will probably be finished tomorrow - adding black bar wrap, a black Ciussi bottle holder and Record pedals.
