De Rosa?

Hello, and thanks advance for any information...

I am new here, and admittedly do not know much at all about bikes, hence why I am here! My wife bought this bike here in Germany for $100, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the year, ect. in case we need that info. for parts or anything? Basically, anything you can tell me about the bike would be helpful, as I can't even find this bike on the internet, except the brand itself. thanks!

Personally I don't think it is a De Rosa or a Colnago either for than matter. Some better pics and more information will help us help you. You brought this back to the US from Germany? Unless a bearing in the headset or bottom brackt are a funky size you should not hav parts issues.

Is there a headbadge on this bike? That would be located on the head tube. Any information regarding the tubing type used on the frame?

I do like the gearing set up and thinking of doing something like that on a bike.

With both the "Colnago" and "De Rosa" names on it...would lean toward it being neither...looks like someone stuck those famous names on a pedestrian type bike. Now, that does not mean that there is anything wrong with the bike...just probably not either of those famous Italian brands.

BTW...welcome to the forum!

It looks to be in decent condition and it sounds like you paid a fair price for it. It is not a De Rosa or a Colnago.

Colnago? De Rosa? Sounds like a bike with an identity crisis, a bit like a BMW Audi.

Asking out of ignorance here - Has Colnago or De Rosa ever made a step-through model? I sure have never come across one.

Looks like the answer is yes.

De Rosa 'Diva':



Colnago 'Donna':
