Tremolo,


Thanks for you comments on the De Rosa. I have been checking various web sites, including the one you mention, for for more info. However there is, at least to me some confusing info out there.


This is the first older De Rosa I have ever seen, much less owned thus I was wondering if you would tell me specifically what makes you think the bike I have is old and rare. I certainly hope it is but as I said I keep running across a lot of confusing/contradictory information. For instance - short dropouts vs. long ones - how long is long? Not having anything to compare it to knowing an actual length would help.


I am also coming to understand that on some De Rosas, especially circa early to mid 1970's, several versions of some design features, lugs and fork crowns, etc. may have been used in a single year or over a few years.


Thanks for your help, I do appreciate it.
