Hello

I recently bought a second hand De Rosa 'Wind' road bike, which apart from a few cosmetic scratches is in really good condition. The guy I bought it off had had it for about 18 months, and rekond it was about 2 years old when he bought it, so I'm guessing it would be a 2003/2004 model.

I know De Rosa is a top brand, but so far I've been unable to find out anything about the 'Wind' model, and so was just wondering if anybody has had any experience with one, or knows any information about it, such as current value (I paid £230 for it), any known problems etc.

Thanks

oh and here's a picture of it

    Looks like a DeRosa Merak - they had a 'soft' paint finish, the black colour is almost rubbery in texture.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Roberto Conti rode a Merak (team version) in the 2000 Tour d France. That's a beautiful bike. Congrats!
