It's only money.... Louislot is our own Charles Andrews, and I'd say that is a pretty rare DeRosa. Wish it had been larger! If Charles is lucky, it will be very presentable under that "gunk of the ages" that it is currently coated with. Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan

Listmembers,
I had my eye on a mid 70's De Rosa frame. It was kind of dirty but I liked it and the price was about $225. with a minute to go. So, I took my best shot and bid $425 bucks. Not even close. Three guys put some serious numbers probably thinking no one in their right mind would pay two grand for this frame. Final price: $2,026.55. The item # is 3690555348
Well if this sale goes through, it belongs on Dale's website as one for the record books.
Morale of the story, be careful what you bid, it may come true.
