Very excited…ex filotex DeRosa Benotto team bike

[petgel]

As per the title, bought this today. 1975 team bike from filotex. DeRosa produced frame. It’s Mosers size so here’s hoping. Not a full resto for this as it is unmolested so has some real provenance (except for crappy tubs) so will be stripped cleaned and rebuilt only. Full first generation super record including those near impossible to find long reach levers factory drilled.

I can see why you bought this, super cool and in my size.

Pretty gutted as the seller pulled out of the deal as he said there was a minor crease in the downtube, personally I think he was playing buyers against each other, he just refunded the money!

Hey ho, it was going to be big brother to this…
