i remember reading about these "other de rosas" on some list or board, i thought it was here but maybe not. there was another for sale awhile back by the original seller. she said it was custom made for her on a trip to italy a number of years ago, i want to say about 20 or so. and that it's made by a an uncle or brother of the "more famous de rosa". hers was a smoke grey. the bicycle wheel was his logo. on hers i remember the logo being the size of wreath on the headbadge.

this looks real, as in - why can't there be another "de rosa" in italy that makes bicycle frames? while a coincidence, i can't see too much else to pick at.

Check out this auction for a De Rosa frame: http://ebay.com/<blah>

As this is obviously not the handiwork of Ugo and family, I wrote the seller, asking for more details. His response was: "I never said this was made by Ugo De Rosa. I did claim it to be a De Rosa frame and this is why I even showed the name on the top tube."

Don't you just love ebay?
