Description
Until recently, steel has been the material of choice for Ugo DeRosa and his sons. They have analyzed many options over the years, but were never satisfied with their performance. That is why, when De...

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
De rosa Titanio XS

Bike Setup:
Full Campy Record with compact cranks. K-Sword bars and stem, Eurus wheels.

Summary:
Excellent and beautiful Italian art. It rides sure, firm and smooth. Handles impeccably and descends on a rail. Very comfortable. It has a nice quality road feel that my De Rosa King doesn't pick up.

Strengths:
Looks, handling, craftsmanship, heritage and materials.
I met Doriano De Rosa, the builder in Italy and got a great tour of the factory. I can vouch for the fact that De Rosd aframes are made at the factory in Milano.

Weaknesses:
None unless cost is a factor for you.

Similar Products Used:
De Rosa King. Specialized S-Worksn Festina team bike (that I love as well).

Favorite Ride:
long group rides with friends

Bike Setup:
Campagnolo Record 10-speed groupset, Deda stem and bar, Mavic Open Pro rims, Continental tires

Summary:
If you are interested in an custom-made ("su misura") De Rosa Titanio EOS you will have to wait for it a few month, but I tell you that each day is worth waiting for such a great bike. The frame is perfectly welded and the craftmanship is outstanding. I´m sure it will last very long and will be "like new" (it´s not painted !) in many years.

Strengths:
It´s still the best bike I´ve ever ridden! It´s smooth and flies over the road and it is light but stiff enough to ride hard. The frame is "made su misura" and fitts perfectly.

Weaknesses:
I´m sorry - I have not found a single weak part on it.
It´s a "little bit" expensive
