at Used, on eBay. Favorite Ride:
HHH Bike Setup:
Campagnolo Centaur 10 spd alloy gruppo, tubies on Mavic Reflex rims. Summary:
Best riding bike I own. Magic. Who cares that it weighs 20 lbs built up. Ride it and you forget all that stuff. The ultimate all-day bike.
Lively, quick, and yet smooth, sure and stable. Italian craftsmanship and skill.
Gets lots of miles (over other bikes) in spite of the hilly terrain here and that it's currently built with a standard double crank. Strengths:
A long list... but above all, a ride to die for. Weaknesses:
Paint is beautiful, but fragile. Similar Products Used:
IF Crown Jewel, Colnago Master X Light, Seven Axiom Ti, Look carbon, others.

at Craigslist- Private Favorite Ride:
Anywhere and everywhere Bike Setup:
Campy compact crank Summary:
I have been doing charity bike rides since 2002, when I purchased my Raleigh hybrid. I had decided to get a new, lighter road bike and somehow was blessed with a 2004 Derosa Neo Primato. It is heaven on wheels.Great ride, wonderful handling, and the steel frame may be a bit heavier, but it makes up for it by giving such a smooth and enjoyable ride. I am proud of it, and I can see myself really going somewhere on this bike. The paint is amazing- it had a custom paint job to look like a classic 70's DeRosa. This bike is amazing. Strengths:
Steel frame, great handling, excellent performance esp. downhill. Weaknesses:
None found yet. Similar Products Used:
Pinarello Galileo

at Private party / Jax Favorite Ride:
Orange County Coast Bike Setup:
full Campy carbon compact Record group with campy Zonda wheels, carbon bars, full Italian build. Summary:
This is the best bike I have owned and I've had many including other steel frames. Ti, aluminum, carbon fiber, and mixed materials. I'm a big guy at 250 pounds, more sometimes and for me steel works best. Fine lugged steel is my preference and of several I owned or ridden the De Rosa is the nicest. Strengths:
Big guy strong, great ride quality, awesome handling, best descending bike I've ever ridden. Weaknesses:
stock steel fork, but only if you want carbon. 1" steerer Similar Products Used:
Colnago, Pinarello, Trek, Cannondale, Litespeed, Lemond, older De Rosa, Bianchi, etc.
