No Reserve De Rosa On eBay

I just received notice of this bike on eBay. I have had the pleasure of seeing it in person, and it is as described. It needs a repaint to be perfect, but it is really nicer in person than it looks. The wear looks to me like it was caused by bad clamping in a rack while driving and having the cables rub. I know the owner had planned on respraying it, before he decided to go custom.

Have at it folks:

Too bad it's not my size. I could use a project De Rosa.

I think it would be an easy respray, if you could match the color. The cable wear is perfectly smooth, you couldn't sand it that smooth..
