i just got back from doing the 2012 sportive, the 210 km which ends in the velodrome.. 55km of pave.
Any one else do it?
A great event, and we were lucky with the weather.
I was shocked to see a large chap going over the pave on a set of rev x spinergy 4 spokes... chapeau

Chapeau to Nick and co for putting together a great afternoon and what a great venue.
Some excellent gear and friendly folk.. I was driving which was a shame as the beer looked so good

The hills are steep and plentiful and if your'e not not going up your'e going down, i would think carefully about gearing or be prepared for some walking.

all paid up..in for me and my wife, last year 12 of us went,flew to Pisa and rented a small car, panda's take a bike box and 2 people.

perfect Eroica bike for sensible money?

Thanks nice pics,would it have top tube cable guides, i thought it might have been clips back then?
would it have panto'd seat stays?

the vendor says that the respray has obscured the frame number , which is a shame, and i don't know enough to be sure, i can't see any pantographed parts of the frame, i think the 90's remakes were de rosa panto'd , if this was an early one it would be hen's teeth.

The bike is gorgeous, anybody know how one would be sure this is a de rosa frame, what is the distinguishing factor?
