Do you wonder if perhaps the reason why the early 1970's SLX DeRosas are so rare, is because these framesets have all broken ??

Quite possibly - after all, the DeRosa in this fatigue-limit test performed the worst out of 20 bikes !! And will we be stuck with TREK OCLV frames for a long, long, long time because apparently they are balanced in a way that allows them to survive many fatigue cycles ??
