Oh... de Rosa...
Oh... I fell in love last year - I even hijacked a thread with pix...
Despite numerous hints, I still have no de Rosa...
However! Partner is a big fan of EmC bikes, and their 2007 models have women specific, and the model partner keeps showing me is pretty in blue and has gorgeous race wheels and just looks loverly!
He thinks I have been racing well enough that I should have a road race bike, and turn my Giant TCR Aero into a TT specific bike with bar end shifters and all...
Oh, the EmC makes classy race bikes... top of the line... check them out as an example.
But for sheer beauty, though greatly over-priced, the de Rosa has my heart.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Well, if you win the lottery, you can justify by having bikes for both summer and winter homes. You will want to live where the weather is ride-worthy in the winter.

My dream house will have a large garage just for a stable of bikes. The de Rosa would help round out my gamut from vintage lugged steel to modern swoopy and wild. Some people have garages for their car collection, I just need one for bikes.
Bill and I were thinking the other day that if we had an extra room, we'd give some poor college student/mechanic type free rent if he'd do all of our bike maintenance.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
