Hey De Rosa fans,

Who knows when De Rosa was using sloping fork crowns. I just picked up a de Rosa that has a chrome sloping fork crown with the "De Rosa" running parallel to the fork legs. The crown also has the heart cutouts on the side.

Ive been googling, looked at the Bulgier collection and old ebay auctions with nothing coming up.

Ive seen some of the frames with the tri colored decals on teh tubes like mine but, none with the same fork crown.

Two more features are the columbus sticker that doesnt state the tubing used and the made in italy heart on teh bottom of the seat tube.

any idea fellas?

thanks a ton
