STOLEN: 1986 De Rosa Pista
Hello everyone,
I posted this to the CR list this morning, so I apologize if it is redundant.
I'm hoping to enlist some help in tracking down a stolen 1986 De Rosa
pista. The bike was taken from my storage space in San Francisco along
with a host of other valuables. At the time of the theft, it was
equipped with Campagnolo C-Record pista group, Cinelli bars/stem, and
Mavic CXP-30 rims. The frame is 54cm square, baby blue with white decals,
chrome round blade fork, and was made using Columbus SLX tubing. I
also have the serial number.
I'm hoping someone out there has seen it or purchased it. I can't
imagine a bike of that pedigree not catching the eye of someone here.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

wasnt it stolen like 2 years ago? my bet is that it was an inside job- one of your friends/acquantainces who knew it was there. or someone who saw you bringing it to the storage locker or a storage centre employee.

I'd guess it was an inside job as well. But if that was the case, you'd think they would want to monetize their score. I suppose it's possible they have, but I'm surprised nobody has seen it. Those bikes aren't that common.

Sorry about your loss man. I just got robbed recently as well, but it was our home. Thank goodness they didn't get any of my bikes, just a bunch of jewelry. 
Good luck on the search for it.

Sorry to hear about your bike. You may want to check out the Oakland coliseum and the Berkley Bart flea market too.

Yes, I saw that one. Pretty crazy story. I called the shop that was selling it. The owner told me it was NOS and owned by a former Campy employee. It was show bike from 1986, same year as mine. I had him check the serial number which was "13". Mine was "14". Same year, same color, 1 bike apart. What are the odds?
The differences are the chrome chainstay and the size. That one is a 53 mine is a 54.

Yes, however my claim was denied because there was no signs of "forced entry". Meaning there was no cut lock/damaged door etc. I don't know how the people broke in. It's possible the door was incorrectly locked or there was a flaw in the mechanism. I don't know.
