I've had 70s DeRosas, Masis and Cinellis. IMHO, in terms of lug work and quality control, the DeRosa have been "CONSISTENTLY" the best damn production frames to come out of Italia in the 70s and 80s.
I guess the DeRosa is all go, but no Masi/Cinelli mojo!!! Too bad it took them so long to learn how to paint and chrome. Scott Davis w/ new computer in arctic MN.
