Being delivered tomorrow.

    If it's 'on order' the it's not yet your road bike is it.
    Go away, and come back when you actually have a bike. Post pictures of real bikes which you actually own.

    Nice looking frame, echo that it would be nice to the see the build progress. And that tonye_n sounds like a knob.

    If it's been dispatched and the company charge after dispatch then technically it is his frame.

    It's a lovely looking frame O.P! Make sure you keep us updated as and when parts arrive/are fitted!

    maybe he/she is just upset you didnt put WIP next to the "on order" to show that it isnt a full bike just yet.

    Love all the comments directed towards the tool... and Nice frame!!

    Has the frame arrived?

    If so could you post photos?

    Sorry for being impatient but I'm really looking forward to seeing this built up - I'd love a De Rosa but can only dream...

    Lovely frame. Was looking at one on Epics site just the other day.

    Make sure you update this thread once youve got it built up.

    Tape and cables arrived, still waiting for the barrel adjusters though. Hopefully will be able to get mostly finished tonight.

    Will start a new thread once built, watch this space...

    Nailed it, but for the red anodized spacers! Good choice with the silver grouppo though.

    What what you have gone for Eki, just plain black ones to match the frame colour then ?

    It is a thing of beauty though, and is it just me or does it have a "retro" look about that frame ?

    gratz on your build btw, now just shrink wrap it until the sun comes back next year 8)

    Very pretty, if it was mine I'd stick a polished ti post in there and ritchey's classic silver polished stem and swap the red spacers for black, and as mentioned it looks very retro.
