I don't get it. There's lots of talk about mojo and juice about Colnago, Masi (even those quasi California built ones! lol), Legnano, and Frejus (to name a few), but not much buzz on De Rosa, Gios, or Pinarello. Is this just personal preference? Pinarellos get barely a glance on e-buy. I could almost suspect marketing, but isn't De Rosa a more recognizable name to the average cyclist than Masi? Pinarello has bikes in pro peloton so that should help brand recognition but still very little interest. Can someone explain?
