Wow, definitely a custom build, then, with such a disparity between top tube and seat tube dimensions. Thanks, David

Hi, What size is it - seat tube, top tube and head tube? Thanks, David

Hi, I am selling a De Rosa Casanova frame (60cm C-T) on LFGSS. See advert here- <https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/292268/#comment13193380> Any queries or if you would like any more photos, just let me know. Thanks for looking David

Re: CNC'd brake lovliness Red Ciamillo calipers Job done. Thanks Stevevw - enjoy spending at Bespoked. David

Re: CNC'd brake lovliness Red Ciamillo calipers Hi Wold Ranger, PM sent. I'll take them unless stevevw wants them. Thanks, David

Re: Hi Borris4, You state doesn't have to be working, so - I have a pair of Record 10 speed levers with a broken left hand shifter up-shift lever (sits behind the brake lever). Ideal for spares or if you only want to run one chain ring... On the off chance these are of interest, I'll be...

Hi, I've a De Rosa Casanova, lugged steel (mid-late 1990's, I think) built of Columbus Brain OS (Over Size). 57.5cm top tube, 17cm head tube, 60 cm CT seat tube. No fork. I can throw in a non-original straight bladed steel fork (non-threaded, ahead steerer), with enough space for about 10mm...

Larger Colnago's (I think 61+) use 'Freuler' sizing. I believe Herr Freuler was a tall Swiss Pro from a few years back. The Freuler system is just a continuation of the longer top tube, longer seat tube, taller head tube pattern over the sizing range. The difference is that the top tube is not...

Re: Do you have an idea of the weight of each of the forks? Are they both carbon steerers - one with aluminium dropouts, the other with carbon dropouts? Thanks, David

That is a really useful document of these world beating British-made frames. I content myself with a Worksop built 531 replica, but appreciate the SBDU frames. Well done, Neil. David

I got my Colnago C40 resprayed at Atlantic Boulevard. It was not a straightforward scheme, but the cost was over £500. I believe Argos Cycles do carbon resprays but have no experience with them. Good luck, David

That is a story of patience and persistence. Well done. Such a rare bike, had you been looking for one specifically, or did you see it and then research its history etc? Beautiful looking bike and, as you say, 'the proof is in the pudding', of how it rides. Enjoy, David

Re: Raleigh Professional Mk.V - Finished Seat clamp spare - You could try one of the older Campag dealers, eg Mercian, or Universal cycles to see if they have a spare clamp. Try Hilary Stone and 'Campy Oldy' (are they still going?), too. Otherwise, you may may need an Ebay search for another...

Fantastic. I can see why strangers come to you for a chat about it. That really is wonderful. In my eyes, the wheels complete the package - it looks so 'together'. A candidate for 'Road Bike of the Month', I would suggest. Keep the pics coming. Enjoy, David

it is a beauty. GLWS. David

Re: I have built the bike up, to see how it rides. I've just had brief 2 mile 'round the block' ride to check brakes, gears etc, but enjoyed it. More work to be done and more bits to change (fork being the main one). It needs the bottom part of the headset changing, which I'll do when I get a...

Hi MacRetro Rider, It may well be the same frame. I got it from Ebay, delivered from Scotland. The sellers description and photos were very limited, but there was so little interest, I thought I'd take a punt. I certainly don't need another frame, but have always fancy a De Rosa. It was very...

Thanks Chaps. I'll see if Boots have Ugo Blue... Best, David

Hi, I've just bought a new/ old frame that has quite a number of paint chips. I'd like to touch in the worst of them. I have seen some on here refer to using modellers paint. Is this the best solution? What other options have you guys used? How do you go about a colour match - do you take...
