Hi There,
..have been "occasional" cycling for a few years using an old Claud Butler mountain bike a bought for £50.....but have recently fancied a "propoer" roade bike. A work colleague recently sold me his old De Rosa Planet, and I must say I am impressed!
...have completed a couple of my "usual" routes with an easy 25% reduction in times, howeve big hills are a problem without a very low gear.
"New" old bike is really good, however it does sufer from an annoying "click" when pushing hard on the right pedal....ow and the "soft" paint is crap...but the rest of the bike more than makes up for that...I think a re-spray in due course!
