Here are some pics of a 54 c-c w/54.5cm top tube DeRosa Super Prestige I purchased. The chromed flat fork crown is really pretty, but I didn't realize the bike only has one set of water bottle mounts and I have to have two bottles on my rides.

The color scheme was a special request for the original owner I purchased the bike from. He was a DeRosa dealer in 1984 and wanted the color scheme (it is a gloss black frame with pink panels with white DeRosa letters outlined in black) of the winning jersey in the Giro d'Italia.

Wow that's one of my favorite frames I've seen. I hear DeRosa can be one of the best. This sure looks it to me, but I don't really know. Hope you have fun with it.

Hey how about posting a picture of the head badge?

You can just get a clamp on water bottle mount and protect the frame with tape or inner tubes.

Good ol' Ugo and his boys really turn out nice frames! Have you considered a handlebar mount for your additional bottle(s)?

Oh my that's purty! :D The fork crown with black paint is downright stunning.

Sweeeeeeeet. I can't help but get the feeling that, as gorgeous as the pics are, they don't really do the frame justice.
