  • hmm... old article

  • DeRosa team has a funny awakening...

    collection

  • Srsly...

  • Gosh.

  • Poc!

  • ^ DeRosa moodboard yesterday.

  • I still can't quite believe Ugo de Rosa allowed his idiot sons to put his name to that fucking monstrosity.

  • Stupid colourway aside, is that meant to be a polo bike or a trick bike or what?

    It looks terribly confused, I feel kind of sorry for it.

  • I don't.
    I feel angry, they're all going on the same bandwagon of 'urban fixies', i blame Cinelli.

  • The designer had a spark of inspiration.....

  • I don't.

    +1

    I reckon we sharpen our pitch forks, light our torches, and get down to Cinelli HQ. They're making me dispise bikes.

  • I see where they're coming from. If their 'consultants' go online and browse through bike Forums, websites, whateva...
    minimalist looking 'fixies' (or not), are the plate du jour. Anywhere.
    If bikes like those keep being sold more than anything else, of course they need to have their saying...
    ...Just a shame that instead of respecting their legacy and traditional values, they get completely carried
    away and (IMO) ill-informed about what the 'youth' wants... spec when the 'youth' can't afford DeRosa anyway. Big big shame.

  • ...its a cheap bike that will sell hundreds in Japan.
    even lamborghini made tractors...

  • collection

    the rest looks amazing.

  • I thought all the carbon frames looked like open mould stuff niced up.

  • ...its a cheap bike that will sell hundreds in Japan.

    It's actually the other way 'round. They were a tractor brand, that started making cars.
    They also make Golf-cars. I used to work in Portugal, at a fair, and used to drive a Lamborghini Golf kart.

  • ...its a cheap bike that will sell hundreds in Japan.

    But Lamborghini started out making tractors. Unfortunately they also put their name to this...

    which was sold in Tescos.

  • Interesting. Was conversing with French pal the other day.

    He said continentals only know how to dress classic.

    I guess the same may apply to industrial products.

    There seems to be a misunderstanding of youth.

    Maybe thats why they get fixeh skidders involved?

  • Their take on the SUV was way better than Porsche's.

  • not sure if it's right to post this in here but i didn't want to post it in anti, because it isn't, but cant bring myself to post it in porn either, i think it's the bar and stem combo, used to be so smooth looking on the old one, a-head looks a bit clunky

  • I thought all the carbon frames looked like open mould stuff niced up.

    They are.. there's a link somewhere on this forum (probably the orient express thread) that shows that the De Rosa carbon frames are just re-painted chinese things.

    Steel and titanium frames are still beautiful though - especially in the flesh.
