Several people have asked me when I planned to load pictures of my not so recently acquired De Rosa, so I finally got around to doing it. This bike was purchased new in Italy directly from Ugo, who described this bike to the buyer as a stage racer (as opposed to a criterium bike? One of these days I plan to do a compare and contrast exercise regarding the frame geometries of the Italian steeds.) The buyer raced it for one season then retired the bike to a warm dry room in Sag Harbor NY where it sat until a few months ago. Other than replacing the dryrotted Setas, nothing was done to it.
