New Winter Bike: De Rosa Milanino...

davehmercer

I've wanted one of these since I got my R848 last year and keep seeing them when I'm in my LBS but couldn't justify the price for a "winter" bike, then a couple of weeks ago this Frameset came up on eBay and I just had to have it! I had a Veloce Groupset that I picked up on here a while ago and already had the Mavic Aksium's on my current winter bike. So all in all it has turned out to be a reasonably priced build.

So far I'm very pleased with it although I've only test ridden it to set up the gears etc but will using it on my commute tomorrow.

I know I really don't want to get it wet! But that's why I bought it and it does have proper guard mounts, I can't do another winter with those bloody strap ons :shock:

Stunning bike, it was on my short list for a winter frame too.
