Loved this read. I had one of these for a few years. Bought as a frameset and built up with a new Chorus 11 speed setup. It was a wonderful bike that felt great out on the road. It also was my smallest frame and really a size smaller than what I need. So with some regret I passed it on as I downsized this past year. Someone got a great deal. These really are great rides and more than worthy of the De Rosa name.

My wife's Primato is actually an incorrectly badged Nuovo Classico.
A long tedious story goes with that.
Still a dream bike. imho
