Anyone seen one like this before? Some things about the frame seem a little plainer than I would expect, and the signature looks different to other De Rosas I've seen. I'm far from an expert however, and the crimp is very distinctive!

This is the other De Rosa. Identifiable by a dot in the letter O.

Google "de rosa maxium" (qoutes are important here to not get the more common De Rosa's) and you will find pics and info.

Tubing is Colombus Gilco, which you probably know already, and I would take a guess that this De Rosa is fairly rare compared to the Ugo De Rosa frames.

Amazing. Thanks for the link. I had a feeling it would be something like this!

if it wasn't for the stupid post-brexit import duties & VAT for anything bought on the continent, I'd have this in a heartbeat....

I've had no hassles if the seller agrees to send as a gift - or submit a lower sale price as value before sending. Worked a couple of times for me.
