Strengths:    Strong, light and comfortable for any type ride. Beautiful to see. One of the ,if not, finest rides I have been on. Absorbs unwanted road noise, very stiff as well.

Weaknesses:    None, unless you want to feel the road more. Price.

Bottom Line:   
Close to perfection. Absolutely smooth ride, evens out any road. Handles crisply and descends with little effort, it understands what to do in any event. A joy to ride, its heritage and craftsmanship are very evident.

Strengths:    Weight, Hype.

Weaknesses:    Paintwork poor, masking of gold stripes an abortion, Headset not sitting straight, seat pin explodes, buckarooing & unstable at speeds. price. Looks dated now.

Bottom Line:   
Waited 4 mths for it to arrive then after 20 mls the seat pin exploded. The masking of the gold stripes was an abortion and the quality of the paintwork was very poor for a 2k frame. The record hidden heatset wouldn't sit straight and the rear wheel was a nightmare to fit. The bike felt very unstable and threw me off during a decent. Had enough and put it in for a Litespeed Ghisallo which I'm waiting on delivery. My ugo De Rosa won't be getting anymore of my hard earned money anymore.
