Subject: [CR]De Rosa to sell

I am offering a 1980 De Rosa Professional, pantographed Campy SR. Brief particulars are: 54c-c 56.5 c-t 54tt Category 1 frame restoration by Cyclart including re-chromed fork royal blue with yellow trim; Campy SR (non- ti), pantagraphed chainring and brake levers, cinelli bar/stem, concor saddle, Ambrosio Synthesis sewups 36 hole. complete except one pedal dust cap and missing skewer although I definitely have it somewhere. The bike is unsassembled and I doubt I will rebuild it anytime soon, so will be selling as a partial project. Condition: The frame is like new it had scratches and rust below the BB which passed the 'icepick test', Cyclart did a superb job and the decals all match. The parts are in need of cleaning and are undamaged, tight, except one rear der cog missing teeth. There is rust on the brake acorn nuts and QR plates; on the chainring bolts, and the spoke eyelets, maybe some other cosmetic imperfections. I reckoned that I could replace all those little fastners &c at moderate cost and have a really fine bike after cleaning it up. It has the original(?) yellow brake cable casing and yellow bar tape. I rode it around awhile before disassembly, it is a great ride and evidently in alignment. I really dont know the value, thought it could be worth 1200 reassembled. I dont know what it is worth as-is, if interested kindly make offer or if not please email me your opinion of the value, off list. I have images posted at http://members.aol.com/zzyzxz/derosa/ and can email larger detailed images if you like. Thanks and regards, Keith Bolog
