Description:
|
Looking for the world's ultimate climbing machine? Look no further than the De Rosa Dual. Its main triangle is made from the Dedacciai U-Dual tubing, weighing only a few grams more than the breathtakingly light UD frameset of 2002. But the Dual has strength and stiffness far exceeding the UD, plus a more forgiving carbon fiber rear triangle bonded to the main frame through Dedacciai's beefy Monobox chainstay/BB interface. You get more comfort than you would with a full-aluminum bike -- in fact, the thing that most Dual owners mention first is their surprise with its impressive smoothness on lousy roads -- but you don't suffer any weight penalty. The Dual tips the scales at a scant 1050 grams, easily allowing you to build up a sub-16 lb. project bike. This is the secret weapon you want to save for the climbing stages. The best part? De Rosa has rated this frame for riders weighing up to 210lbs.
The Dual comes stock with a Mizuno MR20 Shark full carbon 1-1/8" fork.It is available in two beautiful metallic paint schemes: Arancio Gold and Rosso Red . It is available in 1cm increments between 54cm-58cm, and in sloping geometry in 45cm, 48cm, and 52cm. In sizes larger than 55cm (and in 52cm slope), the frame requires a 32.4mm seatpost. Other sizes require a 27.2cm seatpost.
