Part of De Rosa's appeal was that it was made by Italian Craftsmen that trace back their work to the very beginning of pro cycling. A sad end to a great name "De Rosa".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269623177823927518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-58812114827047119672011-04-07T23:47:02.220-07:002011-04-07T23:47:02.220-07:00my carbon frame is made here at home in Australia ...my carbon frame is made here at home in Australia teschner SL9Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-41453796833633860822010-10-08T04:48:27.825-07:002010-10-08T04:48:27.825-07:00I'm pretty sure it's not possible to make ...I'm pretty sure it's not possible to make carbon-fiber frames of high quality in Italy as the factories simply don't exist. Why would DeRosa build an entire high-tech factory to produce a small portion of its catalogue at a price three or four times higher than what they can get it for from China? They wouldn't be able to compete with the other companies. As far as I know all high quality carbon-fiber frames are made in just 3 or 4 factories in China and Taiwan and, as we all know, they are beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-16326121322746747492010-08-02T14:17:50.681-07:002010-08-02T14:17:50.681-07:00It used to said that all DeRosa frames were made i...It used to said that all DeRosa frames were made in Italy. Sadly, that no longer appears to be true as DeRosa follows so many other famous Italian bike makers with frames made in Asia.Larry and Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346445393389942837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-62901901484403932462010-07-30T11:24:43.638-07:002010-07-30T11:24:43.638-07:00Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Nothing against Asia--just love the idea of generations following a framebuilding tradition....Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042953807240088328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-18309037005777070582010-07-29T08:19:37.189-07:002010-07-29T08:19:37.189-07:00Your interpretation is correct, at least for this ...Your interpretation is correct, at least for this model.
