The fact that the De Rosa was Dura Ace made it easier for me to justify. As I mentioned above, I have a pile of spare parts for Dura Ace, and numerous sets of tubulars that are Dura Ace freehubs.
Here is my Cinelli, I'm not sure if I've ever posted a picture of it before:

That's really, really nice - I'm always amazed at how well preserved some bikes are when they aren't subject to the horrors of urban life.

All right, my take on this:
First off, thats a beautiful Italian bike. I love the color and DeRosa's signature on the head tube. The pantographed stem does'nt hurt it at all either. I would love to ride around on a bike like that.

OFG, fwiw I'm putting suntour on my Remy (dutch). I was going to put it
on the Zieleman (also dutch, you get the idea) but Ko Zieleman was very clear
that he didn't like the japanese (or their components), seems kind of appropriate
to honor his preference.
