Another rare frame entered my collection for my 45 birthday, the De Rosa Merak

Good Afternoon Everyone
The 30th November was my 45th birthday so I decided to treat myself with a nice frame even though I promised not buy anymore frames, and found one that I was eying two weeks ago at a killer price. The frame is the rare De Rosa Merak in Dedacciai SC6110 A Aluminium. A much more high end tubing than the U107, 7003 and 7005 Dedacciai series of aluminium. The finish of the frame itself with the welds is at the same level than my Daccordi Fly, it is also slightly above my Cannondale regarding the over all finish.It will be mounted with Dura Ace 7800 , FSA Carbon Crank, Zipp wheels and continental tires.But this will be build after all the other projects will be done
Now place to the pictures
Have a nice day
Very best regards and stay safe
Georges

I had to give it a good cleaning because of remaining grease with white spirit, a tiny screw driver and sprayed it rustol to prevent rust, when it will be assembled I will ask my bike tech to make sure that everything fits well
