The frame looks to be one of the original early DeRosa frames which is a very rare animal. Only questions in my mind are the seeming lack of the cool triagular chainstays, and the headlugs don't have the faces by the headset cups, but it is the early decal set. These things are really rare although I'm not at all impressed by the ones I've seen in person. For the Italian bike collector, this is a holy grail item. Much rarer in this country than a true Confente frame.

For the avid collector, this was a very rare find. Mike Kone in Boulder CO
