De Rosa Milanino, update on last page.

Love the look of that!

Looks nice, i am tempted by this frame myself

Hmmm.
Getting very tempted to get one, build with campag and deda (my finishing kit of choice) and some classic box section wheels with tan sidewall tyres.

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)

Silver spacers would look ok on such a timeless looking bike. Its looks great by the way.

Go away, and come back when you actually have a bike. Post pictures of real bikes which you actually own.
That's what this setion is for.... :roll:

happy now?

Cheers for the comments guys, it does look pretty sweet. Rides nice too, a little longer in the arms than my last frame but a little tweaking will sort that.

I agree with some of you in terms of making it look even more retro would be pretty cool, maybe later...

I have to say, the quality of finish is absolutely stunning on this frame. £675 isn't particularly cheap for alu but it's a beauty.

Eventually I'll get round to putting some decent pics up.

OK, build complete. First pic below...



Will post some decent ones over the weekend if weather permits!

Now you're talking!....
And that's a lovely bike.
I still think you should have waited until you had the frame before posting.
Then provide us with all the lovely updates as you build along.

So location really matters.. really? no, not at all

nice old school style frame though, should be a great ride
