Some tall person, please buy this De Rosa. It has been on my local CL for over 6 years now. No price change, no updated pics. Just the same grubby bike, poorly photographed, relisted over and over and over...

This Huffy "Titanium" was so light they had to weigh down the handlebars so it didn't float away! I wonder if they made a Huffy "Carbon"

Before you buy, offer to install a wheel sell and promise you'll buy it if the seller will just ride it once around the block.....

"Ride as is". the seller says - look at the top tube 😱. I don't think so, especially at 80 quid!

A very nice bike however neither rare nor worth anything close to $650, funnier still I recently saw this at the Local Deserett Industries (Mormon Salvation Army) with a ‘sold’ tag. Also listed in a market where equally pristine high end mountain bikes of the same era often sell for as little as $50.
