classy!

A de rosa? Thats quite a commuter.
1
Nice weather only, I have a beater for winter and rainy days.
2
Still quite a bike to be using to commute in my opinion. I'm very protective of my bikes. V:
1
Pretty much all my destinations are places I can bring my bike inside so it rarely gets locked up outside. And besides, what are bikes for if not to be ridden?

I would use it for my weekend warrior riding. XP

Details? De Rosa's are some sexy bikes!

Bought it with full c-record at a swap day sale, sold the old parts for more than I paid for the bike and rebuilt with used 10spd centaur bits. Built the wheels myself, circus monkey hubs and mavic open pro CDs

why have i seen so much vintage campy on this subreddit lately? nice bike :-)
1
I don't mean to be a jerk, but those components aren't campy. Looks like some modern-ish Shimano(?) components?
Either way, its a sweet fucking De Rosa.

campy centaur from 2004ish actually, def. not classic but still campy
1
I'm sorry I stand corrected! I thought for sure those were something similar to sr /old 105 cranks.

Very nice.

Wow. Nice bike! Columbus SLX tubing? Looks pretty similar to my '88 Kenevans
1
Yep SLX. I quite like it, stiff but without beating me up on long rides.
1
very nice classic look!
1
Wow. Fucking solid!!!

Can't noticing the conversion, did you do it yourself? I'm about to swap some integrated shifters with the downtube shifters myself.
1
Yep, not too much to it. Just get a set of the cable stops that go on the old shifter bosses and re-cable the bike. If you're running older shimano parts (7 or 8spd) than you can use campy 9 shifters with shimano 7 or campy 10 shifters with shimano 8 and they will index perfectly.

Steel fork. Quill stem. Properly shaped bars. Classy package. Commuting in style on that.

Brifters on old steel is awesome. I will join the club one day.
