Truer words were never spoken. I don't care how special and wonderful you think your bike is - there's another, better one that you're just about to stumble across. Trust me. Since I bought the last De Rosa, I've turned down 3 separate Della Santa frame sets in my size. It was a very, very hard thing to do........ and one of them is still available and ready for me to test ride.
Hey - anyone wanna buy a 55cm De Rosa Primato?

All in favor of BBM showing off the new De Rosa...
Normally I'd be interested in the Primato, but I think stable size is totally maxed out. I also agree that bikes that don't fit are pointless to keep. At the same time, I'm not convinced his bike doesn't fit.
