Oh gosh!Ali Macgraw is 86
Hahah, if you come by the bunker, I'll treat you to a nice cup of coffee
If it helps, I can tell you that the two De Rosa red are made of Columbus Off Road steel and are from the same year. Ubrake or cantilever was an option you could request (De Rosa was like a tailor-made clothing shop). The blue De Rosa is made of Columbus Max OR (elliptical) steel, which is slightly more modern but rarer due to the difficulty and cost of working with these tubes. Ugo's sons confirmed to me that he welded them himself because the Max OR frames were a messI think De Rosa made two models, I've only ever seen 3 examples of this on the net (one here:https://collezionemtbitalia.wixsite.com/blog/copia-di-dettaglio-strada-e-pista-1 ). and the two blue ones one of which won BoTM not long back, which has a different frame.

Thank you.
Very informative. I first came across the brick lane bikes one a few years ago and nothing until the two blue ones popped up here!
I think de Rosa make straight bar modern ‘Gravel’ bikes which look like MTB’s - I may be mistaken

struck a deal for the Amelio Bianchi. It was either that or the Moser 91. But even though it’s not a ‘Bianchi’ it’s exquisite and I fell in love with the looks and detailing and history -Yes, I agree the Bianchi is lovely too!! he has a few on here like this Pinarello...
Which I really like, but I'm not buying anymore Alu frames
..and this Sintessi
I’ve been after something exactly like that and it covers all needs - in Columbus EL (I don’t think I’ve seen many MTB in that material) with the size being perfect 17” with

Oooh, that is very nice - I love the colour on that (and the 'varnished by' label!!) Did you get the whole bike or the frameset?
(As I'm sure you know) Amelio Binachi was an artisan builder - that makes it even more special in my eyes - it's likely unique
