Best fun I’ve had putting together a build, and making sure she rides really well too.
Was fairly sensible on the modernization, until I decided, hey, if I’m not going to save the weight on swapping out the original chrome steel fork to a modern Columbus carbon fork, may as well have fun on the wheelset. And so it now weighs 8.3 kg…
Super cushy ride from the steel fork + tubular setup, mega happy with it for the long rides where I just want to chill out and have my camera slung across my back.
De Rosa Professional SLX (mid 1990s?)
