There will be other projects, and I'd rather not reach saturation point just yet.
The Derosa is 130mm. The Boston was actually cold pressed to 130mm spacing.
I'm leaning towards the Derosa as well. The two bikes I drooled over the most as a young-mid teen were a Derosa and a Merlin Ti. I've acquired the Merlin!
My rule is simple: when one is added to the fleet, another leaves. This keeps me to upgrades only. The fleet does not grow in quantity, but it goes up in quality. Its worked pretty well so far, and I have made some nice upgrades (bought a Colnago Master Lite, got rid of my Schwinn Criss Cross, bought a Lotus Classique that fit, got rid of my old UO8 that never fit, bought a nice Trek 950 MTB, got rid of my bottom end Trek 800 MTB).
