DE ROSA Primato Columbus EL, Shimano Dura Ace 7400, 60cm (1990-91) – SOLD

Ugo De Rosa, one of the most successful frame builders was born on January 27, 1934 in Milan, Italy. His passion led him to study mechanics and engineering at a technical college. Later in the early 1950s he opened his first shop and commenced the manufacture of racing bicycles. He supplied many champions with his high-end bicycles (Gianni Motta, Eddy Merckx and Francesco Moser…), and also strongly influenced the cycling industry with his amazing bikes from Cusano Milanino.

Here we are proudly presenting one the most beautiful bikes that came in our store ever, the DE ROSA Primato. The frame is work of art, shinning in outstanding metalic purple paintjob, made of Columbus EL (extra leggeri) tubing, famous Diamante chainstay and especially designed bottom bracket shell to improve the stiffness. Completely build with top of the line Shimano Dura Ace 7400/7402 groupset, 3ttt stem and handlebar, Mavic SUP Ceramic wheels, Selle Italia Turbo saddle. Love at first sight.

Great catch for all De Rosa lovers. Fair price.
