The more I look at it, I would buy both. I would keep the De Rosa and offer $200 on the Bottecchia. I currently have a use for the Cinelli stem and bars as well as the areo Campy seat post. I'd scavage what I want/need and sell off the rest. I'd make him keep that Acera RD though

I don't see any real problems with the De Rosa with the pictures provided. No need to look at it unless I'm really serious about buying it. The rust on the Bottecchia could be problematic. For the sake of the forum(of course) I need to look at it in person. Looking at the map, it's only about a mile from my place of business, if that. The rust on the DT is not clear enough in the pictures. I'll contact the seller and take a look then get back to the thread.
Just to be clear here, I don't have serious interest in the De Rosa at this time. If others are interested, I can facilitate. Some of the other forum members can vouch for me. I am trustworthy.

Not Athena brakes, so not "full Athena"...
But a stunning bike nonetheless.
https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/bi...321153358.html
Less than 500 miles on this bike. Beautiful, full Athena groupset. Got it completely rebuilt in 1995, almost never rode it because it was "too nice".
22 pounds. 2 or 3 paint chips on the tubes, otherwise pristine.
Did a full overhaul 2 years ago, only rode it 30 miles since then.

I also have a 72 Condor that I bought from a guy who lives close to the Carpenter Center. He bought it from their store when he was working in London. He sent it back to them in the mid 80s to have the frame respaced and some bosses added along with a repaint. No shop sticker, though. It's a 58 frame. I think that's close to your size. If you haven't ridden a Condor and want to, I might be able to drop it off with you for a week or two. MTT will start back up in June. I will be on your side of town on Saturdays up until the marathon.

Bianchi Celeste w/ Campagnolo
$400
80’s celeste Bianchi in great running shape. 53cm, good for someone 5'6"-5'10". Columbus steel, Campy drivetrain, Modolo brakes, Selle Turbo saddle in matching Celeste (very cool). A little bit of surface rust on the frame but nothing a little bit of work can’t clean up. I bought this as one to clean up and ride but haven’t had the time, so offering it to the next person to do! Gorgeous bike, feather light, and the tires are also in great shape. $400 obo

Regarding the De Rosa in Richmond, evidently the seller really wants to sell it locally. So, I will contact him, look at the bike and have some conversation. Then, we'll go from there.

Dang, the De Rosa got some stiff competition, unless it's not a Cinelli! I've got work commitments until late afternoon. Probably be gone by then to one of the vulture flippers. I'll let you people discuss it.

Yeah, ^ most likely it has a Cinelli BB shell and no other branding so the seller says "it's a Cinelli!" I cannot see any frame details to even guess but good chance it's Italian. Plenty of low-res pix of the components...sigh...

Might be an '80s Paramount (Waterford) road frame. Looks similar to my '84 minus the rack braze-ons and mine has the Cinelli BB shell.

RE: Claude Butler
Is that a track bike with a flip-flop rear hub, rear-facing drop outs, a cantilever front brake, and padding on the top tube where the bars would strike it in a crash (as most track riders do)?
