De Rosa bicycles are an Italian based cycle maker the company having been started by Ugo De Rosa in the early 1950s when he opened his first cycle shop specifically for the sale of racing bikes. Ugo De Rosa had a long interest in cycling from an early age being born in 1934 in Milan, Italy. A keen cycle racer from his early years Ugo De Rosa became interested in the mechanics, design and engineering of Road Cycles and after attending technical college and opening his first De Rosa cycle shop in Milan, Italy
Started designing and the making of Road Bicycle frames specifically for the high end Road racing elite. In 1958 Ed Rosa had gained such a reputation for his Road Cycle Frames that he was commissioned to build a Racing Bike by the famous Italian cyclist
Raphael Germiniani for the upcoming Giro de’Italia. This quickly led to a greater interest in De Rosa Race Cycles from the top teams and riders of the day and by the early 1960s De Rosa Bicycles were common place in the professional cycle peloton in all the worlds great cycle races and cycle tours. The Italian Faema Pro Cycle Team was the first to ride De Rosa made Road Bikes. Other Teams from the 1960s who rode De Rosa cycles include the Tbac Team and Max Majer Team. By the late 1960s De Rosa was being courted by a number of the bigger teams to design and build Racing Bikes culminating in 1973 when the Molteni Cycle Team and its world famous cyclist Eddie Merckx rode De Rosa Bikes. The Molteni team rode all the Great races including the Tour De France and Milan-San-Remo. This further increased the profile of De Rosa and greatly added to the De Rosa order Books.

Road Bicycles (racing cycles) are typically designed to be ridden on tarmac roads at high speed for this reason they are made from light weight materials such as carbon, titanium and aluminum to reduce the effort required for a rider to cycle up hills or mountains. Most Road bikes have multiple gears with a cassette of sprockets at the back wheel and often with a two or three ring sprocket at the drive chain. multi gear bikes are far more flexible depending on the incline of the road being ridden. Road cycles are generally fitted with thin wheels and tyres to reduce drag from the road and allow faster riding. Drop down handle bars are preferred for aerodynamic advantages when descending or sprinting. Road Bicyles differ greatly in price with the top end models such as those used by professional cyclist in pro cycle events such as the Tour de France and Giro d' Italia running into thousands. Reasonable and entry level Road bikes can be found at much more affordable prices in many Bike stores and online.
