<< It looks like De Rosa is offering the 04 neo primato in moltini orange, with a blue panel, world champ stripe decal. Although not exactly the same as the replica '73 frame they offered in the mid 90's, it's a lugged, orange de rosa!

The Neo Primato is a to-often over looked frame in all this neo-classic talk. In fact, with the exception of the rear dropouts (semi vertical) and the fork (now carbon) , it is strikingly similar to the Pegoretti there was so much hooplah about a few years ago. Same apparent lugs, workmanship at least as nice, etc.

My two cents..
