I had a primato el-os in that color around the 95 season. I remember taking it to a top 5 at tour d toona. It was so much fun on the descents. Good memories. It served me well until it was ruined in an accident with a car. replaced with a bright red de rosa...

Couldn't go wrong with either color on a De Rosa! EL/OS was such a great tubeset. Loved the ride of it. Had a Bianchi road and mountain bike in that. Miss those bikes.

I had that same bianchi mtb


A couple photos from the archives:





Although the mtb didnt fit that well, I raced the mess out of it. Always expected the thin tubing to crack on a big drop but held up well




Sorry for the thread drift

I don't mind thread drift. It's all good. So you have the Denali, which was one step down from the Grizzly, which is what I had. I had the Bianchi Martini Team frame. They did those in EL/OS and Genius tubed version. I raced the EL/OS and returned it to the team and ended up get a Genius frame in 2011 but never built it up.

Two new Prima frames for PLF members. One is the Prima with D11 headset, the other is the Prima with an integrated headset.

The integrated headset frame will have a NOS Campagnolo Hiddenset on it. We've sourced a few of these for Prima frames. Perfect compliment on a Campagnolo build.

More pics to follow when they land.

Do they call the blue "Martina Blue"? since her own Prima is that color?
