De Rosa Primato EL-OS Classic Road Bicycle 1990s

Ugo De Rosa is certainly one of the best frame builders of all time. Not only did he supply many champions with his high-end bicycles (Gianni Motta, Eddy Merckx and Francesco Moser, just to name a few).

He simply manufactured masterpieces and through them strongly influenced the cycling industry. In his dominant years of the 1970s, his top model was the De Rosa Strada Record the later versions of which are often also referred to as the De Rosa Super Prestige, later followed by the Professional and finally by the De Rosa Primato.
We are happy to be able to present one of these machines to you. It is one of the later ones made of Columbus EL (Extra Light) tubes with a suffix "OS", which means, that the tubes are slightly oversized. This evolution of EL tubeset was even stronger and lighter thus perfect material for top of the range racing bikes.

Primato is not just performance oriented, it is always and elegant bike with many refined details typical for De Rosa. One of them are the beautiful diamante chainstays. As for the equipment, nothing less than the Campagnolo Record 10-speed groupset has been chosen. It works like a clockwork and with many components made of titanium nad carbon fiber, it's also lightweight. It is then completed with Mavic wheelset, ITM cockpit in NOS condition and white Rolls saddle.

If you long for a bike from one of the most iconic Italian brands which looks great and rides like a dream, look no longer.
