NIce bike. I too am thinking of getting a Rovigo, but PX are not being very helpful with my questions. Have you any idea what the tubing is besides 'Columbus'?

I'm thinking get it too. It's cool.
What about stiffness and power transfar? I've got custom stell frame which is for racing, so can't expect comfort too much. Do you think rovigo is only for easy riding?

I'm really enjoying it - comfortable supple ride that you'd expect from steel and the geometry suits me well. Keep in mind it's not exactly light-weight. But if steel is what you want I think the frame is reasonably priced where I got it at Planet-X Bikes. Staff was quite helpful answering questions about the build. Only draw-back I found is the brazed on front mech clamp - kind of a pain.
