That is one gorgeous frame. Can't wait to see the whole bike. Good luck
Simply amazing!
Any idea why they stopped producing this beauty? IMO that was one of the nicest De Rosa frames ever.

I hope to have the frame by next week. I will weight it, but with color scheme, large size and clear coat I am not expecting a weightweenie.
I haven't decided on wheels, but i would love to try Lightweights or Bora's. Cockpit will be a mix of Time ergodrive, selle Italia, WR Compositi. I will go EPS to compliment my mechanical Time.

The color is wonderful. Great choice and wise choice of components
The Protos is by far the best frame De Rosa produced.
Enjoy it

Woo!!! That is one hell of a looker! Fluo is the new black and I love the red bits! Is the frame in a matte finish because if it is, you'll stay busy trying to keep the frame clean!

I insisted on a clear coat because of the issues I have seen with the matte white frames. See below

I'd rethink the Time stem....
Keep us posted.
I'm doing a matte exposed carbon weave Time aero handlebar. The stem I'm considering is a similar 3k weave WR Compositi stem and matching seatpost. I'll post pics of it later in the thread.

There's an open mold for this frame? So, is this nothing more than a paint job, although the killer paint job makes it worth it. Still, I'd be surprised to see De Rosa putting their name on an open mold frame, or at least not one that they didn't have exclusive rights to, but then it wouldn't be "open" any more would it. Looking forward to seeing this one all built up regardless.
