That guy posted another hot Merckx a few days ago... and used to have a very nice De Rosa which was stolen. He also writes sadbikes (http://sadbikes.blogspot.com/).

Must every thread here turn into a lame imitation of BSNYC?

That's a gorgeous bike.

There aren't too many bikes that I haven't owned at one time or another. There aren't too many bikes that I lust for.

That is one of them.

Benotto? If yes = very old school cool.

That is some tight clearances on the down tube of that De Rosa. My Italian track bike (Viner) had some pretty tight clearances too, and some toe overlap on a 62cm frame!! I have switched out the stock steel fork with a carbon threaded one with more rake so toe overlap is gone, but it still is quick and agile.

That black Salsa stem has GOT TO GO. It's begging for a nice silver quill, maybe a Cinelli or 3T. Otherwise, major drool worthy.

And Dave, eye-talian fixies demand Campy. So you'll have to branch out a little.
