Heh. Does anyone know anyone that has a DeRosa Cinquanta, or anything like it? The Colnago 50th Anniversary Edition? The Giant TDF TCR 100? I wonder who actually ends up with these things, and if they ever see any miles.

I'd sure as hell ride it. I wouldn't do it justice, but I would ride it.

Ok, ouch. That was a harder climb than I remember it. My legs are more wintery than I thought. Need... food... water...

Marin St?
Old Tunnel?

Only one way to fix that. Here, marinate with this image while you consider reorganizing your bank accounts for the sake of stronger legs and cleaner air:

I´ve seen that special edition de Rosa in RL even all the campagnolo parts are in bluetinted carbon if there ever was a special roadbike for pimps the de rosa would be nr1 on their list
 
I am currently riding a Kuwahara Ultegra road bike. I think it is from the early 1990's. The frame may be an Ishiwata steel lugged frame. All the components are earlier generation Shimano ultegra parts. I bought the bike used but it is in excellent condition. The only thing is that I don't know any of the specs for it. I want to replace the steel forks with carbon forks. Does anyone know the specs for this bike? What is the fork size? 1 inch or 1 1/8th inch? anyone? :confused:

Thanks. Much appreciated
 
I have 2 bikes:

2001 Giant OCR1 - Shimano 105
2004 Eisentraut Custom steel - Campy Centaur

(see links in signature for pictures)
