Cheers!

Nice.
Do we already have a Rossin (Pista) owners club/thread?
Working on a similar one. Already waiting for months for a fitting chain ring. Everything else is ready.

Don't know, but we should seeing as both you and Crow have Rossin Pista's.

I bought a similar set of special pista-pedals that I have on currently, but in better nick, just to have them get lost in the handling. Christmas is not a good month to get stuff posted to you.

I think this is correct, but 2 months is extremely long, even around Xmas.
Even from 3 different sources...

Yeah, I've only waited 18 days. They might appear, and I hope they do as they were mint with adjustable Campa cages.

Hah, you thought I was having you on didn't you James?

Nice!

Sexy time!

that crankset is a beaut

Thanks Erik, hopefully I wont eff it up with heelrub.

Shitty sleet-weather has stopped me doing anything to the bike seeing I won't be using it for a month or two.

nice one Thrust, agree we should get a Rossin thread started once its built up

cant wait to see this beauty.. please share it us when the built its done :)

i'm also a rossin fan, actually my one and only bike is a rossin,
bought it from this forum.. built it, ride it and love it

so yess please open a rossin owners club :) for me to gain knowledge

goodluck with the built

cheers

Tried to put on some fresh tyres today but it just won't go on. I wonder if the wheels are 27" instead of 700c?

Had to get mildly violent, but they're on now as a test.

Campagnolo and 3ttt parts

Wow!!

love it ;)

Dutch Cheese aka Short Arse. ;) Nice build!

Feck, this build is taking forever. Doing my masters and being dirtpoor has kept me away. Can't justify putting scrap parts on it either.
Hopefully a job will come my way so I can complete it soon enough.

Let it rest for a year.
Hurry is the worst and most expensive thing you can do.
And, when the project is finished, the fun part is over.
So, take your time.

What do you need to complete the build (except cash) ?

To get it proper and just they way I want it? Some minor adjustments to get into the VGC-department of things. The nuovo record seatpost isn't knackered but it isn't in a good condidition. I'm looking for a super record 27,2 in a better condi.

But for me being content with a nice build, nothing much really. All I need is a chain, a 17t cog, benotto bartape, plugs and a pair of skinwalls and to put it together.

@Thrust i have a VGC 27.2 super record seatpost if you're interested...

@Dutch Cheese i'd be all over that frame if you ever want to sell...unless there's a waiting list.

Pics and how much?

Now for the bar tape, what you guys reckon? Lightbrown, darkbrown or red?
