Looks good, very understated 8)

That looks lovely.

Can I ask why it was repainted and what it looked like before?

Neale1978

I just always found the paintjob ott and have always preferred the understated style approach basically if a frame is designed nicely

This one was like this to start with. They are from the same mould as the Ribble stealth but use a different carbon fibre apparantly

As long as you don't believe anything De Rosa might tell you. Italians will say anything!

Prefer the old paint job....looks more Italian, too many all black colour schemes.

...I know mines one of them

It definitely looks much better with the new paint job - stunning bike IMHO.

Now I just need to order that frame from China and jack up the paint job....:)

I know what you mean and thats why i went for the clearcoat/gloss as matt black is certainly a trend but not all Italian bikes are loud and proud. Some look too garish IMO 8)
