De Rosa Protos — $10,000 $8,000
A pure sprinters dream machine, built for a powerful rider
The best way to describe the De Rosa Protos is to first read this except from De Rosa’s own catalog:
“I am only satisfied with the very best in everything and my very best as it relates to the contents of my garage is my Protos, something that I have wanted for quite along time. Having demonstrated to myself that I was able to participate in a Gran Fondo, I decided it was worth trying to win the next time but in order to win, in addition to strong legs, capacity in the lungs and the ability to focus the mind one requires a great bicycle, one that layers the best possible aerodynamics on great design and technical characteristics. Protos is this and much more.”
“It is difficult to describe its essence without feeling the sensation one feels when riding the bike. Its responsiveness is masterful. It is a racing bike, but much more than that. It is a force multiplied, the culmination of a study, the answer to the need to build one’s own victory using its power.”
“The Protos has elevated the rules of the game, creating a new horizon; it nourishes ambition and is fertile soil to the seeds of our competitive nature. Riding my Protos, I am now one with the professionals I follow, and with each and every breath I am able to imagine myself as one of them, sensing what it is like to be them.
That work of art in my garage allows me to be part of a bigger dream; I can just about taste the sweat of victory!”
Built-up with Campagnolo 11-speed components
The Campagnolo Super Record groupset is the best mechanical Campagnolo has to offer. Extremely lightweight yet very durable, Super Record is the “very pinnacle of Campagnolo innovation, technology, materials, and craftsmanship.”
Aero and light, yet dependable, and convenient
An excellent way to describe the Stella Azzura Calibro Carbon Clincher wheelset we’ve paired with this frame. Aero 38mm full carbon rims with a separate-from-the-bead braking surface for dependable braking, all with the convenience of clinchers.
Hand-built in Italy
The build is completed with FSA bars and stem, a fizik Arione saddle and fizik bartape. The full carbon frame, 100% built in Italy, is built for speed and power. The base material is a mix of four types of carbon fibers, applied and combined to exacting specifications in order to achieve a unique result known as CM63, composed of high and ultra-high modulus carbon. It features the biggest downtube and beefiest bottom bracket junction we’ve ever seen. Includes Look Keo Blade pedals! This bike is definitely ready to race!
