I post too many photos already and even worked up a photo montage to go with my last post, but started to feel sheepish about it (ie shouldnt there be something better to do at 2:00am).

To Wino Ryder (classic name), I will agree that the "idiotic" comment was a bit strong; on the other hand, the Brooks just looks so foreign on the De Rosa, perhaps my own issues. The De Rosa just seems destined for a Unicanitor or Selle San Marco Supercorsa/Regal (even the Rolls seems a bit clunky). Ye olde Brooks, with all its hand-tooled frumpy glory, just seems perfect for the Worksop Pro, although I dont think it's all that frumpy. Interestingly, the Regal and black Supercorsa also looked good on the Pro, yet the white Supercorsa looked off. Of course, I had been drinking cough syrup at the time...

Thanks for the loving praise of my Raleigh. It's one of the nicest I've ever seen in person and gets comments every time out, even more than the Testarossa red De Rosa Professional (then again, many more are familiar with the Raleigh Pro). It's on my wall as art when not on the road and it gets ridden three times a week or so. It deserves to have some great tubulars in place of the bulletproof, yet haggard, Mavic Open 4 CD. Anyone have anything interesting, drop me a PM.
