Speaking of DeRosa, I'm trying to date one. Does anyone know how long ago DeRosa started making Frames? And when did they start carving the D/hearts onto the fork crown and when did they start using the heart cut-outs on the lugs? Finally, when did they stop making plain lugs and plain fork crowns?

My DeRosa has been repainted. Here is what it has: 1. "DeRosa" stampings on the seat tube caps 2. Long campy dropouts, 3. Clamp-on brake cable clips and shifters, 4. Campy Braze-on top mounted cable guides on BB.

***But it has No D on the crown and NO hearts on the lugs. So, what is the approximate vintage of a DeRosa w/out a Heart???
