On par with Masi and Cinelli in the realm of Italian frame builders from the 60's and 70's era. Early frames are extremely rare and valuable, though at this point in time no vintage De Rosa can be considered undesirable by collectors and enthusiasts of vintage cycling.
The
Italian Faema Pro Cycle Team was the first to ride DeRosa made Road Bikes.
Other Teams from the 1960s who rode De Rosa cycles include the Tbac Team and
Max Majer Team. In 1973, the Molteni Cycle Team and its world famous cyclist
Eddie Merckx rode De Rosa Bikes. DeRosa bicycles are now one of the highest rated
and highest profile producers of Road Cycles and have remained a fixture
amongst the Pro Cycle Circuit ever since.
