De Rosa Idol complete carbon road bike 56cm equivalent Italy Italian DeRosa
Location:
Omaha, NE
Description:
This hard to find, Italian beauty will get you noticed, atleast until you’ve left everyone behind and ridden out of site. But do them afavor and stop later so they can admire your De Rosa Idol. With its extendedseat tube, it is definitely unique. If you’re worried about seat height, I havea 31-32” inseam. And there is a few cm’s of adjustment available. If you’reused to riding 56cm frames from most manufacturers, this bike will be about right.If you need less, the seat tube can be cut down. If you’re used to riding a59cm+, this probably isn’t your bike.I think its coolest aesthetic feature is this. As you getcloser, what you thought was black paint, is actually clear coat down to the carbonfiber (see photos).For a 15 year old bike, it has less than your average amountof wear. Please check all of the photos. They are high resolution. So, you canzoom in close. I’m the second owner. And we both treated it well with thepossible exception of this. Sounds like the previous owner had some damagearound the bottom bracket. He had a professional carbon fiber technician do therepair. I tried to photograph that area well. I’ve ridden it about 1000 mileswithout any issues. There was some touch-up paint that hasn’t held up as wellas the factory paint (see photos). But only your mechanic would ever be in tightenough to notice that. The best mechanic in town just went over it and made a coupleimprovements, getting it ready for the next owner. He installed brand new “DeRosa” bar tape and Schwalbe Lugano tires. The Colnago wheels are decent trainingwheels. They are aluminum, not super light, and have at least 2000 miles onthem. But they’re pretty true and will get you rolling the day you receive it.I will try to disassemble it as little as possible, so you have less work outof the box. Components are Shimano 105 with the exception of the front derailleur whichis Campagnolo. It will come with everything you see in the photos. Why am I giving up this gorgeous work of art and craftsmanship?I like red. But I love black and white. After many years of looking, I was ableto locate and purchase the white version. Now someone will be able to take advantageof the fact I have one Idol too many and like black and white a little morethan red. Most of my friends would say I’m crazy. They’re probably right.Please ask any questions you may have. For a nice read aboutit and few more technical details, Google “Pro test: De Rosa Idolreview Frankie Andres rides a bike fit to be worshipped”. Purchase with confidence.Free returns within the first 30 days. It will have to be in the same condition.And you would have to pay the return shipping. I will try to get it there byChristmas if this is someone’s present. But it might be tight.
