Where's the rest of it??? Are there more pictures that my computer isn't showing for some reason, or are you just teasing us? I always love looking at you guys' high end bikes.

(Unless this is a "Guess the DeRosa" game, in which case I'm just not nearly qualified enough to play [yet])

You can get your fat gut down on a 66 Cinelli bar? Have you been doing yoga?

Aha, that's my problem. I have one of those bars, and lately, my gut has been hitting my thighs (or vice versa). D'oh!

That's why I ride 64's. On top of that, they are closer to my age.

Of course he waits until that other dust up is cleared away before making his grand entrance.

I can't remember the last time I was waiting for a thread. :p

Does he have a spec of dust on there?

Point out where it is and I'm sure the good man will clean her right up.

Oh, it was just a joke about the triple. :) Seriously though, EL-OS? Love! :love:

A 175 triple, that's like a mountain bike crank. Planning to climb some cliffs?

From what I've seen thus far, it's a very classy machine. Great work, sir.

You're too young for a Record triple. ;)

Agreed EL-OS is nice.

Don't own one with this tubeset, but have ridden one quite a bit.

....and BBM in his ride report states:

San Ramon to Sunol, then up and over Palomares to Dublin and back home. Testing out the new sled, it's nice. Wind was a bit of a bother coming back. ~43 miles and 2300 or so feet of climbing.

I'd wager I would have put triple or compacts on all of my bikes when I was 22 years old if I had to do that much climbing.

Heck, I complain about riding in and out of the river bluffs here in St. Paul.

Can't imagine riding in the hills/mountains all day.

I'd have to actually work on the bike.

Now BBM, where are those full side view shots anyway?

I understand now why he switched Primatos.

gomango

11-14-10, 07:36 AM

I understand now why he switched Primatos.

I won't trade out any of my remaining De Rosas.

I will add one though in a couple of years.

....or when one as nice as John's falls into my lap.

All of BBM's bikes are pristine, well-conceived examples though.

I think he's the type of guy to do things properly, or he'll wait until he can.

That's why the Primatos were switched, I'd guess.

This Primato's color has me mesmerized, I must say.

I've looked at these pics about five times now.

I agree. The color is beautiful. It reminds me of Periwinkle, only this looks darker.

Very Beautiful!!! Everything works great together.
I agree with Gomango, the blue is absolutely amazing.

If I remember correctly you thought the headset may be too bulky for the build, personally I think it is a perfect fit.
I am sure it rides as nice as it looks, well done.
