Not a crap poster, thank you for asking.

But, if you have issues with me, simply ignore my posts. Life is too short to be snippy. Trust me, I'll ignore yours.

Back to the post at hand:

I was at the San Rafael Co-op, Bikes for Kids when I saw this hanging high from their rafter system. The bikes are suspended in a manner so crowded, it is difficult to grab a shot. I grabbed the BB shot while waiting for assistance.

Bianchi Girl's comment, "I hate when my phone runs out of film." was spot on. My phone battery died.

The bike had what I think, a rattle can paint job, but it was a really good job. It was converted to a FIXIE but luckily the conversion did not include hack sawing off important parts. The fork, not DeRosa. Also, there is a dent in the top tube.

Frame size, 56 both ways. There is a sale going on and the bike is selling for $275. This included wheels and Cinelli cockpit.

Since my phone died, and I wanted more photos, I called the shop and spoke to Fayed who texted me more photos. Please note, there are no decals on the bike. when waking by, I noticed the lugs and investigated further. Everyone there is a volunteer and doubt anyone but Fayed (pronounced with 2 syllables) will know what you are talking about if you want this.

After I found those Delta Brakes, I was contemplating a period appropriate frame to put them on and another DeRosa was on the top of my list. In the end, I decided this frame without original fork and dent was not for me.

And Drillium Dude, thanks for the sleuthing. My DeRosa knowledge runs out exactly the last page of Andrea's book and after searching the web myself, I didn't know enough to know how to ask.

I share those photos here:





Maybe that dent is no big deal. I’d rather wait and pay more if needed and find a better candidate. If this bike if perfect for you, please support this awesome Co-op. Good day. Robert
