I am not surprised the De Rosa rides and handles well, but I am surprised it is SO much better than your other two Italian steeds, which represent VERY respectable marques.
Me too. Maybe it's just thrill of a new ride, or differant stem lengths. I haven't even tried my best wheel set on Rosa yet. Even with the mediocre clinchers on it, it tracks better than the Cinelli, and just jumps when I say go.
I'm not giving up the Cinelli or Guerciotti, but Rosa is my new best friend. I wonder if the flat fork crown and De Rosa chain stays are that much better?
Now if someone will just trade me white cages for the black, it would be bellisimo!
