Whilst I can appreciate a good classic shaped frame I’m not a fan of the older frames so sadly the Spectrum doesn’t do it for me so it’s a Not and the Serotta is borderline as I prefer a more aggressive, straight bladed fork, so still not hot hot. Quite like the spesh- although I’m not sure I’d have the balls to carry that off.

well that hasn’t stopped numerous modem manufacturers specking straight bladed forks on classical geometry frames- any number of them look hot

That Kvale is hot.
I'm not a vintage guy but even the setting and photography are perfect.
Level saddle, top tube and stem are very calming yet aggressive. No bottle cages to complicate the photo is a super nice touch.
The moisture on the trail after a rain... I want to ride down the trail to see what's over the rise in the distance.
Well done. Very well done.

For as great as the spec list is, the De Rosa just doesn't appeal to me. I'm not a fan of the webbing between the ST and seat stays and, maybe it's a function of the frame size, but the front end doesn't look aggressive - HT angle, rake, I dunno what it is, but something. Loud wheelset graphics don't do it for me, either.
