The new de rosa arrived ! THE NEW DE ROSA ARRIVED ! I think that says it all. De Rosa is truly the best and the frame is magnificient !

True ... I still haven't received it ! Ok so quite some time ago I reported Cristiano De Rosa wrote and said he was going to replace it...finally... Well there has been no more correspondence and still no frame...I am more than disappoiunted....

Good News ! I received an email from Cristiano yesterday and they will be sending a new frame ! FINALLY. He is a man of his word. Thank you.

Still no word from De Rosa I wrote Cristiano De Rosa a couple of emails enquiring about progress and NO reply.

The outfit I purchased the frame from was UK based, but they were pulled from eBay, when I reported this problem.

Still no word from De Rosa Although he said he would get back to me 6 weeks ago, still no word about my frame. I asked him to ship back the frame I sent him if it was too expensive to replace it with a new one, as he orginally wrote he would do. But no answer on this as well. I am getting...

Fake De Rosa I thought there would be no problem with De Rosa's, as I had only heard of fake Pinarellos. Also the price was sufficiently high (1900) for an obsolete model frame (The rs took over a year ago) and from a UK seller. The seller also put on the advert, that the frame could be...

Thanks for the comments. I had always been talking directly with Cristiano, but admittedly follow up does not appear to be forthcoming. He has had the frame since March. I was in Florence in June, so I should have taken the trip up to Milan and talked to him face to face, but at the time I was...

Hi I am a bit upset by the posts I have received in response to mine. Firstly, I posted this to warn you that so called REAL frames are not necessarily so. The eBay listing said I could register the frame with de Rosa for warranty, etc, so it all seemed on the up and up and the price wasn't...

Well I don't think this is a POSITIVE note I am trying to explain. It has been over 8 months and I don't have a bike, counterfeit, nor real. Frankly I am getting worried. here is more info: Here is the story in short form: I ordered a De Rosa King 3, through 'Buy it Now' on eBay for...

I purchased a 'De Rosa' King 3 from eBay and it has been a real eye opener. The advert said it was a 'real' frame and its serial number could be registered for full warranty. Additionally the bike 'shop' was located in the UK, not Asia, so I felt pretty comfortable purchasing the frame...
