I want to thank you for getting back to me so quickly and with very good news (contacting De Rosa). I will be retracing your steps on this process though I am tempted to use Campagnolo equipment (no carbon).

I was torn between Colnago and De Rosa and finding access to a classic fork/stem clinched it for me.

This bicycle will allow my classic Bianchi Limited a rest as I have had it since my time at university (UBC).

Enjoyed your story of cycling to Montreal. I can see a touring cycle in my future.

Regards,

Patrick

I ordered my frame through a local dealer, but I emailed the factory to make sure that I could get the threaded stem. To contact the factory just send an email to Cristiano at “info@derosanews.com”. He will answer your questions and then you can buy the frame through a local dealer. My frame shipped from Milan a couple of days ago so I should see it soon.

Great bike! I want a threaded stem as well.

Did you order your Neo Primato directly from the factory? If so, how did you contact the right person.

Regards,

Patrick

http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc

lots of ideas on there! I just finished buying the last of the parts for my De Rosa build. It’s mostly Dura-Ace 7800 series stuff. This will be heresy to some people who only want to see Campy parts on an Italian bike, but I like to be an iconoclast. So my De Rosa will have a threaded stem, a compact crank and lots of Japanese parts on it.

I am in the process of looking for a new steel light weight frame. I’ve check all the same manufacturers you have listed above and am still undecided.
