Yes, I have! In fact, I have the exact same bike as this one pictured. I guess you'd call it a semi sloping crown? I suspect but don't know that in the early 1980's this frames fork crown & "unusual" graphics were an attempt to make the bike more "trendy" in the marketplace. I like my bike very much but always preferred the flat crown & simpler graphics. Richard Rose (Toledo, Ohio)

http://ebay.com/<blah>

This Derosa on ebay is Columbus SL with a sloping fork crown. Other than this one, I've never seen a steel Derosa with other than a flat fork crown? Has anyone else? Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
