Copied from a Cycling Weekly article from a few months ago: 'Ugo DeRosa will stop welding for a moment and say hello, between pulls on an ever-present cigarette. His hands have welded more than 25,000 frames; looking at them, you can tell'. Accompanying phot shows Ugo welding up an alloy frame, together with an overhead shot of the factory with aluminium prep/welding kit visible. I'm not saying that some of the Euro bulders don't employ underhand tactics, but Ugo still welds and they make their own frames. Simon
