2012 De Rosa models
Anyone else see the 'new' model for 2012, a Nuovo Classico? Lugged steel, flat fork crown, but I cant find any info on it. The De Rosa site has a picture, no description. I found a Taiwanese site with a few more pictures, but no info.

Anyone know anything about it?

Interesting! I wonder what the tubing will be. There's nothing better than classic Italian geometry with newer steel and parts.

incazzare.
Those can be changed out easily enough. Though you'll probably need a headset, too.

Trek makes a lugged steel frame with chromed headlugs and De Rosa geometry? Which model would that be? Is it similar to their "Peterson" model featuring lugs with wing dings and triple chain stays with room for car rims?

I'll trade you all the SL/531 stuff I come across for MAX and EL OS.

I took the daring move of emailing DeRosa for information.
The new Nuovo Classico is a very attractive road bike, and I'll enjoy hearing more about it.

BBM - I can't view photos at work, but if that's a "Bob" reference, you are my hero.

I should have known you were a brother in slack. My bicycles have their parking reserved for X Day.
Thanks.
