Once upon a time, I had a red '86 De Rosa with Campy 10sp triple livery. It rode great. As a word of caution, your initial impression of it wanting to go fast was my experience with mine; it always seemed to want to go juuuust a bit faster. In fact, it can get you into a spot of bother of the "coming into a corner too hot" variety if you don't pay attention. Not a good thing or a bad thing, but it is a thing. I have no doubt you will love the ride. I also have no doubt that it will handle a bit quicker than your beautiful Kirk.

I loved mine, but I traded the f/f for a 1965ish Cinelli frame and moved all the components over (long story chronicled elsewhere in C&V). That Cinelli is now the bike I reach for 90+% of the time. But I will always think of that De Rosa with great fondness and will never fail to sing Ugo's praises.
