SOLD
For sale is a Rossin track pursuit frame and forks, with Shimano 600 headset (needing service) and Campagnolo Veloce BB (smooth).
Top tube is 58cm centre to centre
Seat tube is 58cm centre to top
It takes a 650c wheel at the front, and a 27.2mm seatpost.
Having recently enquired about the frame to Rossin in Italy, I got the following reply:
"from the received pictures and based on the frame' serial #, seems that it has been made in Milano late on 1991 by a special kind of Columbus tubes for track, special made for ROSSIN at that time (for Junior track teams). would be possible that this frame has been sold for the 1st time to a Junior Russian team..by the way this information is not easy to collect because, as you could understand, at that time (on 1991), the frames' serial # was not connected to the sales network."
The frame has some scratches and chips, but no dings and is in excellent condition. The tubes are clean and no rust is visible. It's not drilled front or rear for brakes.
Some cool details include the pantographed fork crowns, classic Rossin head tube lugs, and rear brake bridge.
In the clearance photos it is fitted with 23c tyres.
£350. Viewing and collection in Dalston, N1. Prefer not to post.
