Happy Easter

Do you have a public Holiday in the US at Easter?

Nice 80s steel for sale! Or perhaps one is late 70s?

The earlier one is made from SLX. 56cm seat tube, centre to top, 55cm top tube c-c. It was resprayed by De Rosa at some stage in its life. Structurally it is perfect, with no signs of corrosion, dents etc.. The owner has tried to maintain it very well and has touched up any little marks. full chrome fork, with semi sloping crown, chrome rh stay and rear drop outs, double bottle bosses, front mech hanger, three cable guides along top of top tube. Metallic blue, Paint is 7.5 or maybe 8 out of 10. De rosa engraved top eyes and fork crown. Very very neat work, I bet it rides like a peach! $250 plus shipping (airmail to US is $80)

The later one is exactly the same size. Model name is "Nouvo Classico". Tubing is New SLX (what year would this be?). Diamond shaped chainstays. Internal cable guide along top the. Shot in seat stays. 3/4 chrome rear triangle. Full chrome fork with De Rosa Engraved semi sloping crown. Usual braze ons. Metallic blue. Paint is 9/10. Very good condition. $400 plus shipping.

Photos are of course available. I am away racing over the Easter holidays (www.girvanrace.info), so if a reply is slow in coming, sorry. First come first served.
