De Rosa Endurace
 

Hi All

I know that a late 1990's De Rosa is not quite a classic nor a vintage as yet, but I'm hoping that someone here may know something about the De Rosa Endurace steel frame from either 1999 to 2000. It was in the range along with the Merak, Wind, Neo Primato and Planet at the time. It had tubing more like an alloy frame in appearance (unlike the previous Endurace with round tubing) and smooth welding.

Just wondered if anyone knew about this frame or of anyone with one? Thanks in advance.

Regards

Which isn't much help.

And this, which may be a little more help:

Looks nice, very similar to a Moser TK1 I have, same frame material.

Hi Thanks for the sites. Which material is your Moser TK1 made from please?

Dedacciai 18MCDV6, also known as Dedacciai Zero HT Koncept tubing. It's a high quality steel. My frame is very responsive. Looks like Dedacciai made it for De Rosa, judging by the UK EBay listing.

The model below my Moser sold last week for about $500, frame and fork, no headset/BB. Same frame material. The frame and fork are probably about 3.6 lbs.

Have you seen the frame in person? I would imagine that the workmanship is superb. It is on my Moser.

Post a picture if you can, that would help.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, if the price was right.
