I think the most classic content of the article was passed by without
anyone noticing. One of the things I lament the most about the bike
industry is the loss of family. Few shops get passed on from
generation to generation anymore let alone bikes and parts
manufacturers. Think of how many builders you know that have taught
their kids to build and those kids went on to be builders themselves.
I think it's wonderful that Ugo DeRosa was able to pass on his passion
on to his children and they've carried on the tradition. Maybe DeRosa
doesn't make the kind of bikes the list idolizes anymore, but I don't
think their vision has changed. They still make top-notch performance
bikes and try to push the envelope each day.
