BREAKING AWAY ON A ROSSIN?

Everyone's favourite cycling movie 'Breaking Away' (1979) features Dennis Christopher playing wannabe pro cyclist Dave Stoller. 
In the famous scene where Stoller drafts behind a Cinzano lorry he's clearly on a Masi with a frame very similar the one shown below, but in the scene where he's knocked off his bike by the Italian cycling team he's apparently riding a Rossin. If anyone has a copy of the movie could you take a look for me? [elprez (at) hotmail.co.uk]

  1. There were apparently 3 bikes used in the movie - 2 Masi Gran Criteriums and a repainted Sears bike which was used for the bike pump scene - you can tell them by the different brake calipers - the Sears bike has Weinman callipers with cable pull on the other side from Campy.
