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.
