Yes - EL-OS. My De Rosa purchasing consultant (OFG) insisted I hold out for a bike with this tubing set.

If you buy it and ship it to my door, I will. Ball's in your court, preacher..........

A non-list member that pulled the ad off my local CL. Seems he was recently the victim of a hit-and-run. He was injured, and his bike was destroyed. Now he has a new one.
Maybe you'll see him around town. If you do see him, you'll know it - he'll be riding the only bike of it's kind out there, and it will be a head-turner.

10 speed Campagnolo. In particular, a mix of Record and Chorus that I have been accumulating for just such an acquisition. Off the top of my head:
Chorus: Shifter/brake levers, bb, both derailleurs,
titanium Chorus seat post.
Record: Crank, headset, brake calipers.
Other parts will include Cinelli 64 bars and stem (1A, maybe 1R or XA), KMC 10SXL chain, and Campagnolo cable kit. Wheels are "to be determined", but most likely with Chorus hubs. The saddle will be Regal (of course), although I can't decide on black or white.
