1986 De Rosa Professional SLX

I purchased her (Jennetta) used in 1990 with Campagnolo Victory group. I quickly rebuilt with Campagnolo second generation C Record and second gen Deltas. Campagnolo Ergo was not good when it first came out, so brifters, hubs, and cassette were Shimano Dura Ace. I raced and rode her for 26 years until I sold all the parts (except Deltas) and rebuilt with all first generation Record Corsa (C Record) in 2016.

Thank you! It is the one thing I hope to NEVER sell. Sorry if some of the photos are sideways. I cannot figure out how to correct that.
