Okay, so against part of my better judgement, I am thinking it's time to part with this...

Best guess is that it is mid 80s. De Rosa SLX or Professional model.

I purchased it a while ago from the original owner and at the time it had a hodgepodge of components, but it still road like silk. At the time of purchase, seller explained that a year or two after he originally bought it, the paint was failing and De Rosa authorized a warranty full repaint from CycleArt in California. There is a CycleArt logo near the bottom bracket. I know repaints aren't ideal, but seeing that it was a factory-warranty repaint, it has never phased me, and I took him at his word about the history.

Limited pics posted now, but happy to share more, including details of any/all blemishes with a potential buyer.

Seat tube CTC is just a shade over 58 (call it 58.5 though I am not perfect at measuring) and top tube CTC is pretty much spot on 58.

Cosmetics, I give it an 8+ out of 10.

Sale would NOT include Headset (on there for easier pics).

In addition to frame and for, it WOULD include all of what I think were/are the original bits that were on it when I bought it:
• Campy seat binder bolt
• Cinelli Stem (125mm reach)
• Handlebars ( Cinelli Giro D'Italia, 42mm)-- Both bars and stem were never used by me (removed after original purchase for better fit/comfort when I rode it).

I am asking $800 OBO + bikeflights shipping for the frameset. I have no idea if that is high or low, but it's kind of where I need to be to part with it (reluctantly). I know it'll be forever when another one that fits me like this comes along. But to be honest, I generally don't ride CV rides of this quality (low-brow taste!), and whenever I did ride it, I was always terrified I'd damage it. It deserves to go to someone who will give it the use/love it deserves.

Happy to answer any/all questions. Thanks!

$525, including bike flights shipping CONUS.
