Hoping for historical info on my latest acquisition; a 64cm Di Rocco.
Unfortunate tri-color cheapo repaint, so no decals for information.
It's got chrome forks with 'R' & 'Di Rocco' on fork caps, long 'spoon'
seatstay caps are also engraved 'Di Rocco'...It has uncrimped
chainstays, Gipiemme dropouts, heart-ish-relief on topside of each
short-point lug, cable routing above bottom bracket (bb has only '64'
stamped on underside; no drain...brake cable braze-ons on top of the top
tube...
A simple looking frame with a steep head tube angle & non-original
early 1980's Sugino/Shimano/Campy component mix-up. The top tube is an
appropriately long 61cm...so I'm thinking 1980's rather than 1970's.
Pleased to say it's undented & I find no cracks; I'll give it a test
ride tomorrow.
