Is it just me or...
After a complete stripe down, repaint and build-up my '96 DeRosa Primato is back in action and I just cannot believe what a sweet ride she is. Now my other bikes are certainly no slouches (Look 595 and Colnago C60) but simply wow, a fine steel frame just has something special that is hard to describe.
Now is this perception truly real, or is it just me being happy to have my old trusty stead back in the line-up? Anyone else have similar experience? |

Hard to beat a De Rosa Primato.

Sold my C.F bikes and my custom Ti over the past couple of years. I ride and totally enjoy nothing but steel now days. And yes, one of those is a wonderful TSX tubed De Rosa with Campagnolo Chorus.
Steel is Real! |

Not just you
I had the same experience with my SLX Pinarello Montello (1990/91?). Repainted and paired with a modern group and especially modern wheels and cockpit, it beats the snot out o the ti and other bikes. Amazing on long rides, quick enough to be fun in a sprint too.
