Major brain melt day - these lugs look just like the stamped lugs on a gorgeous 74-75 De Rosa that I saw about 2 months ago. What the heck was I thinking?
The difference is the De Rosa I saw was beautifully made. This bike seems to have the questionable build quality that many of the early De Rosa bikes have. That I can identify - I hope...
