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?
