HI Tam Nice find! I'm going to guess 1972 (or earlier) based on the seat stay caps and fork crown. Well worth a top notch restoration effort. Jay Van De Velde Seal Beach, CA

I recently purchased this De Rosa frameset from Belgium and will be doing a full restoration on it. It currently has a really bad coat of paint that's been exposed to sunlight so please excuse the travesty.

The photos can be viewed here:

I need some help trying to narrow down the year it might have been built so that I can equip it with period-correct componentry. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
