I only see 3 photos....but, anyway, there is another De Rosa...in Naples. I recently posted to the list about it. I believe they use a wheel in the O rather than a heart. Post some photos of the headtube and downtube...

I recently acquired an interesting bike...

It's a mystery frame decaled to look like a De Rosa. It's actually not badly made at all, paint and finish are pretty nice, considering. But, it's not a De Rosa..so I'm wondering what it is. It has Campagnolo short drop-outs, appears italian threaded.

If someone can illuminate me on this, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!
