They are NOS as they have never been used. Stunning stuff. If only...
I started this blog after buying a vintage 1982 Rossin Record frame on impulse. The dilemma was what to do next? For details of this restoration click on 'Older posts' at the bottom of the page. The blog has turned itself into an unofficial Rossin archive.

Enrico Lattaruolo's Collection
Enrico Lattaruolo bought these beautiful bikes (two time trial and one track pursuit) directly from the Rossin factory back in the 1980s. As he puts it, they are real 'masterpieces of Italian handicraft.'

ROSSIN COMPACT CARBON FIBER
This bike appears courtesy of Éroica Cicli:
One of the very few prototypes ever made, definitely one of the rarest Rossins ever. Probably made in the late 80's. Early carbon fibre construction, performed by gluing together the two fibre shell of the main triangle of the frame. A steel rear triangle is then integrated to the body. Designed for time trials and for 'breaking time records in velodromes', equipped with a pair of 700 and 650 disc wheels and an aero fairing in the front. The stem is directly welded to the fork crown, and the handlebar was made and installed to fit inside the fairing. A nice piece of carbon fibre frame history.
