I'm not trying to piss on your cornflakes dude but when something is put on a forum sometimes the feedback is not always positive - The bike is beautifully put together , stunning components and your post is well presented. Sometimes there has to be some devil's advocacy in order to test the substance of any project etc.
Thing is it just doesn't feel like a 1980's or 90's Rossin to me.
Blb I think described it "The green one is same as as the one rossin build for russian pursuit team on which they won gold in 80's , and it is build from my favourite tubing columbus MAX". Well Columbus Max I think first appeared in '87 so that's fine but I for one have never seen any pics of any Russian team riding anything like this frame.
I don't recall ever seeing a real (pre new ownership) Rossin with No pantographing.
As far as I know in the original 80's and 90's factory decals on an original finish the 'R' decal had a small registered logo in a circle upper right.
I'm not trying to argue that this defo isn't an 80's-90's Rossin I'm just expressing my initial, unresearched opinions.
Now I hope I am wrong and that your frame is spot-on in all respects and I much prefer to make positive comments about some of the beautiful frames and bikes that appear here.
Maybe a pic of the BB would help to clarify things a little.
Anyway the bike does look great whatever it is.
