Thanks. Since I've been on this forum and discovering keirin bikes, I've had a thing for metal flake paint. Wasn't even aware it was done on non Japanese frames. I'm no expert in bikes from before my time (this one is likely older than me) but knowing it was a Rossin and being made from SLX meant I couldn't resist.
I haven't found many examples of the same frame online. Is this the white one you meant? I wonder how difficult it would be to accurately reproduce the paint scheme.
As for wheels, I would love a pair of 20mm carbon rims, laced to silver spokes. Not entirely sure about gumwalls, I was thinking of playing safe with black, same for saddle and bar tape. Maybe a strong yellow like veloflex?

Pretty much my all time favourite paint job the white/flicked black Rossin finish. The green / sparkle looks great though too. Lovely frames Rossin - good luck with finishing this one off.

This is the white version I was after -

That is lovely! I've got one of these in need of a respray and this was the paintjob I was after, or the white version...
Skinny carbon rims or ceramic/oxic and gumwalls for the win!
