Rossin bikes

i've got myself a rossin frame off jos, and i can tell its obvious quality and have heard many good things about the make, yet i have not seen another rossin frame? or heard of a website that stocks them? infact i've never seen any shop stock them or heard of another person who has come across one. can anybody fill me in?
cheers

Try Italy...
;-)

They used to be at www.rossinbikes.com but it looks like the site is just a holding page now.

Arsen_design rides a rossin, as does Briank Wan

yea i looked at that website but it dont work. is there any other sites that have rossin frames? does rossin produce any other bike parts?

There is a page of info on classicrendezvous, have a look on www.wooljersey.com/gallery/ too..

There's a non-English guy with a silver Rossin called Mike, his bike is superb. Don't know his forum name, though. He's got a spoke card with my name on it..

Maybe you should have yours redone in that one particular paint job!

rossins were sold in my local bike shop martin ashfield in wales during the 90's

Lovely bike and lovely fella, we must get him down to south beers soon, he's only 'round the corner...

the horror, a BLB bike, hate to think the £££'s

I'm no expert and looking for a frame at a good price.
Can anyone tell me if this Rossin frame from the 90's at 350 euros is a good deal?

Comes with original decals

if it had forks and outstanding paint. on higher end though, especially with strong euro.

Thanks! I'll ask if there are forks to go with it and try to get a better price. Really like the geometry though.

I realize this thread is 6 months old, but if anyone's interested I'll share what little I know of Rossin when I'm not tipsy (post 1993 the name was sold and I know very little beyond that time period).

yea when you sober up feel free to fill me in

I ride a Rossin, mid 80s race bike. Its a single speed now but I´m looking for a rear wheel to make it fixed.

I'm just starting to work on this Rossin here:

Be glad if anyone have any more info on this model... not-round (called it hex, but then i started thinking) tubing and Columbus Matrix-tubeset. Perhaps it's called Rossin Quadro Matrix or something like that?

I'll post more photos when I get all the shit parts off the frame and have given it a bit of a cleanup :) it surely needs it..

Nigel at Campyoldy has some sweet Rossins,
and could probably help you with authenticity build up information.

goddam every time I look at these I want to build #8 ---must resist....

I'm not going to overdo it, the paint is damaged a little and I'm sure as hell not going to repaint it :) ... Mostly I want the bike to work for audax-rides, will be aiming after Shimano 600 STi of about the same era, and if I'm right that the frame is medium-range that should be pretty authentic since Rossin came with both Shimano and Campagnolo.. :) perhaps some parts will be Dura-Ace, perhaps some will be lower range.. :)

Thanks for the info.. I'll try contacting Nigel when I have some better photos.
