• depends on which day of the week . i like to dress up at weekends ....

    as for my knowledge of rossin bikes - its zero but i do like them (frame and forks mint £200 ?) did sell my mint NOS ciocc with nitto, modolo ,fsa wheels etc singlespeed for £600 on ebay (which is pretty much what it cost to build) i cant see a powdercoated rossin with used veloce selling for double that unless it had full croce d'aune

    best to see by giving it a pop cos nobody on here is gonna pay that kinda money just cos you spent too much on the build !

    Here we go again.....
    If I had used full Croce d'Aune it would have been the wrong era (as it was introduced at the end of '87).
    But I wasn't going for a contemporaneous rebuild, partly because any authentic groupset from 1982 in mintish condition seemed to be an arm & a leg, (like this one for example) but mainly because I had already decided I wanted an 'as new' frame with modern, new (or as new as possible) components because I prefer the modern shifters.

    What I didn't want was a ropey frame and an average respray, chucked together with some well used second hand bits, which is absolutely fine for some builds but not what I wanted. Yes, then were I to sell it I could have sold it for 4 or 5 hundred quid no problem.

    I saved a little by buying a fairly new Veloce set on this forum. I got trade prices or good prices for just about everything. I might have got some better deals (for example for the tyres and inner tubes), had I looked around, but I like to support my local bike shop (owned by a mate). And I'm not hard up. But yes you can probably do better than that and I take my hat of to you. But please, let people ask for whatever price they want on this forum, you don't have to buy it if it's too much for you. And stop bullying people into thinking they have to do everything your way, even if you are expert or experienced or whatever.
    Thank you.
    PS I built this bike for me, not for selling. Domestic pressures intervened. However, it has now been agreed I will try to sell the Acciaio and keep the Rossin. Hooray. Except that I love the Acciaio. Boo.
