De Rosa Professional SLX Racing Bike 1985

Eddy Merckx, Francesco Moser, Gianni Motta and Moreno Argentin are some of the countless champions which rode Ugo De Rosa frames to epic victories. And it is no coincidence that, in the 1974 Giro d'Italia, roughly 80% of all riders of the peloton chose Mr. De Rosa frames. Widely considered "The Master" Ugo De Rosa manufactured masterpieces which strongly influenced the cycling industry, just as the De Rosa Professional

The De Rosa Professional is one of the best bicycles which left the De Rosa factory in the 1980s. Manufactured with Columbus SLX steel tubes, a very light and stiff tubing with inner reinforcements, butted sections and reinforced chain stays, the Professional really embodies the perfection and attention to details of the Milanese frame builder. The chain stays are formed to a rhombic diameter, this typical shape was called 'Diamante' by De Rosa and can be found on most of his high-end frames.

This particular De Rosa is in good original condition and is fully fitted with superb Campagnolo C-Record parts and iconic Delta brakes. Thoroughly serviced by our mechanics, this bike is ready to be ridden. Whether at the next Eroica or just for fun weekend rides, this De Rosa Professional is undoubtedly the choice for all demanding riders.

Heritage and performance.
