Eric's Morris

     This bike belongs to one of our employees, Eric.  I wish I had a before picture of this bike, it was CRUSTY! He spent many hours polishing, detailing, tuning up, and sourcing parts. It is an Italian marque, Morris. Lesser known, but maker of high quality frames. Original decals and very nice chromovelato finish. The whole frame is chrome plated and then a red translucent laquer is applied over the chrome. When the sun hits it, it SHINES! Very Italian. He built it up with a mostly Gipiemme, Modolo, Galli group set. that fork was Sooo rusty, he took it down to the clean metal underneath and plans to get it chrome plated to finish the build off. very nice work all around. Enjoy the photos!

For Sale: 1980's De Rosa 53CM

     Another nice bike we recently acquired offered for sale today. It is a De Rosa from the mid 1980's I believe. Dating these bikes is a bit difficult because frame features overlap and sometimes old fittings were used on newer bikes. Plus De Rosa was never really a high output operation until more modern times, focusing more on custom builds or bikes for racing teams / individuals. The frame is built with Columbus tubing. it also has the sloping fork crown which is an 80's feature as well as the recessed, six slotted BB shell. The bike has all its original paint and decals, including the Trophee Super Prestige Arc En Ciel decal on the top tube with Eddy Merckx's name and the dates of 1973-1975. The measurements are as follows:
