Some of you might remember we gave away the ”barn find De Rosa” this summer to Matt Webb who planned to resurrect the bike for his son to ride.
Well, it was finished late in the summer and Matt did an outstanding job !!
Bill Cheney was the original owner that purchased the bike in Europe back in the day and campaigned it around Dorset. After he stopped riding, it sat in his barn for years collecting bird droppings. One day he brought it in to Battenkill Sports and said ” here, see if anybody wants it “. We ran the offer on this web site and on Facebook. Matt was the lucky (?) recipient.
Many hours spent sourcing obsolete Campy 8 speed parts and Voila here she is ! Below is the original.
