The bike has a sloping top tube so the best way to measure it is to say that it is 60 cm c of BB to the top of the seat post collar. My legs are 34" long. The top tube is effectively 57 cm c-c
Complete Ultegra 11 speed
Although this frame was advertised as "used" it never had any components mounted
Hunt 50 mm deep wheels with 32 mm Gatorskins on them with 6 rides.
The 12 mm through axles perfectly align the disks and you can't feel any drag from their bearings.
Internal shift wires and brake hoses.
I had previous disk brakes and didn't like them because they stopped so violently that you could be thrown over the handlebars. Robinson's Wheel Works set these up and they stop smoothly and predictably even when wet.
This really is a superbike and the price is CHEAP for a bike of this type. The reputation of DeRosa is flawless and this bike demonstrates why.
The bike was caught out in a drizzle so I imagine that the brakes would make noise until the surface is worn off.
For those unaware - DeRosa designed all of Eddie Merckx's racing bikes
