What has happend to De Rosa in the UK? I had a look at around 10 pro bike shops the other day and they appear to have dropped De Rosa from their sales list. Great shame as De Rosa has a special place in many Italian bike fans hearts! Does any of your local bike shops still stock De Rosa?

    Jim Walker (http://www.i-ride.co.uk) have been the UK agents for a while and, it appears, still are. Worth contacting them to see if they can sort you out with a local stockist?

    I think some shops have dropped them due to poor aftersales service, similar to Cannondale a number of years back.

    I've always lusted after a De Rosa but too many horror stories of frames failing, paint bubbling etc with no support puts me off.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos
