Team De Rosa-Ceramica Flaminia continues to use the frame King3 RS, confirmed in the collection De Rosa 2011. In production since three years, in some parts of the project starts to highlight the "weight of years," as the classic headset and traditional aesthetics, with normal tube section, which departs significantly from the new frame with over-size tubes. The quality of the product and the frame is certainly not less, with a lightweight and rigid, though not at the summit as its debut, and the current status in the main competition. Although the assembly is in quality, but without any particular technical elements of relief. The bike Team is assembled with the Campagnolo Record, with controls, crank, sprocket, chain, brakes, front and rear derailleur. The seatpost is integrated and the saddle Fi'zi:k Airone. The handlebar is FSA Energy, aluminum, combined with the stem FSA OS-99. The pedals are Look, while the wheels are Campagnolo Shamal Ultra, clincher Vittoria Open Evo CX. I have Elite carbon bottle cage. A bike that remains substantially unchanged compared to last year and quite subdued compared with some competitors. The weight is greater than the UCI's 6.8kg, a further handicap for the athletes of the Team.
