I have wanted a DeRosa, like this one, for 30 years and have never been in the right place at the right time to make that dream come true.
Of course it would look great in modern guise or even with Shimano, but, in my mind, it would look best in vintage Campagnolo.
I agree, and that's the I route a plan on going.

I know! It's hard enough to find bikes in my size anyways, but when this emailed to me by one of my buddies I about pissed my pants. I wouldn't say it's in my area, more in my region. I'll be driving all day tomorrow to pick it up, 12 hours round trip.

Yes, told you I was a Campy noob.
