I'll be watching this build closely, lovely frame. The C60 is looking fantastic too!!!

Two awesome bikes your going to have. The problem now will be what one to ride.
What do you think the final weight will be.!!!

Nice!

That is lovely. I am a big De Rosa fan (unfortunately only have the one at the moment!) and the C60 is probably the only non De Rosa I am lusting after currently. Impeccable taste.

Once it is all done I would love to hear your impressions comparing the two. I think I will go for the Pininfarina SK (had an SK 888 SR previously and foolishly sold it) purely on looks but would love a C60 if I could justify it and the King XS is a lovely understated thing.

It's very close to the weight of a painted supersix evo himod and it is Italian! How about that...

Thanks all, so the frame does not have an extra hole at the BB area for the
Charging port of the V2 EPS Battery Colnago have them above where the SN .




My solution is to remove the plate guide for mechanical cable and do a custom plate cover.

Love the color of this frame.

De Rosa and Campagnolo are a perfect combination. Cant wait to see the final product.

Lovely already

I know this is a 51cm but can you tell us your dimensions....height etc.???? Would be interesting to me as I am interested in this frame but right on the border between sizes.

Thanks and also looking forward to completed pics......and a ride review would be awesome too
