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.'
They are NOS as they have never been used. Stunning stuff. If only...

ROSSIN PROJECT

I'm not sure how it happened but despite being in trouble for having too many bikes I accidentally bought a superficially tatty early 80s Rossin road bike frame on eBay [see earlier post]. I knew it would need restoration and new decals but it was what to do with it after that that was tricky. My choices were between an ´authentic´ re-build using a (very expensive) contemporaneous Campagnolo groupset, a rebuild using modern components, or building the bike up as a single speed.

I also discovered that there isn't a massive amount of Rossin info online, despite the fact that they've become very desirable. This blog started as a way of keeping a diary of my Rossin build, but has become a something of a resource for vintage Rossins.
