    GARY  FOUNTAIN'S ROSSIN PRESTIGE


This Rossin Prestige was probably built around 1990. Gary Fountain put it together with Campy bits and pieces mainly from the C-Record era. He added ITM stem & bars, along with a Concor Profil saddle. The paintwork is original and the chrome is in perfect condition.

Tubing is Tange Prestige which has been specially shaped with 6 facets. Every tube, stay and fork blade has six facets that blend into a round section - except for the steerer tube which is round in section. All tubes end in a lug of some sort or other. 

The Prestige has Rossin pantographs where you don't often see them

The colour is hard to describe - sort of a metallic pinky, coppery, brown. 

Unusual fork crown
