RCUK Bikes Bryan Fox's De Rosa Merak

My De Rosa Merak was purchased last June; I traded up from a steel 653 frame so it felt pretty lively until I got used to it, like going from an old nag to a thoroughbred. The new purchase was an incentive to go out and get some miles in, although I only ride for pleasure now-days.
