EIGHTIES 'SPLATTER' FRAME

This is Rossin 'splatter' frame from 1986 or 1987. It's made from Columbus Matrix tubing, has internal cable routing and there's a race number holder on top tube. Not sure if the Rossin frame painters were influenced by Jackson Pollock or not, but they certainly created some eye catching designs using this technique.

 

 

 

IS THIS THE LIGHTEST ROSSIN?

Spotted at a Mark Cavendish/Sky Ride promotional event in Regents Park, this is an 80's Rossin frame that has been built up with a Dura Ace groupset and nice light wheels.
This is easily the lightest Rossin I've ever come across that's for sure. A really classy rebuild that Lee Barrett its owner says rides like a dream.
We discussed holding a vintage Rossin 'rally' at Richmond Park some day. Nice idea?

More details about the build when I have them, hopefully.
If you think your Rossin might be lighter, send me the details and a photo and I'll had it here or in the Readers' Rossins section.
