I'm quite surprised that this bike sold for $2000. I would agree with Chuck that is may be a nice early 80's ('tho it's hard to tell from the photo), and may be worth about $1000 max, in most circumstances. The "Trophy Super Prestige - Merckx" referred to in the description is simply reflecting the sticker on the top tube celebrating Merckx victories, common on De Rosas of the era. The same sticker is on my wife's very similar frame. I don't think she'd want to sell it, but if she thought it was worth $2000 built-up, who knows.
Just goes to show that, on eBay, you never know what might happen.

>>>I've got one the same size, same year. Anyone want to step up to the
plate with $2,000.00 and I'll deliver it on a Sterling Silver platter.
