'80's Rossin Gipiemme Special Pista

I'm wondering if that frame is the same year as the one Crows and Dutch owns only in another color?

Anyone good in the history of Rossins? The bridge and forks are the same. I need the exact making year.

i started looking as i was given a Rossin - just required a tyre and iner tube - and just wanted (as always) to check some of the history but it's quite sketchy.
now if i want info on my holdsworths no problem....

Put it together, rides really well! Quick but with a forgiving character. Not quite happy yet though, it needs skinwalls and a shorter steerer to get the stack height down on the hs!

Pictures!

Better pictures are coming...

No filter.

supernice.. all done well and those gipiemme stuffs are things of beauty and specialty. do you actually ride this often or this is more a wall piece? also, what rims actually? tubs or clincher?

clicked the link.. mavic ma40's, clinchers.. better choice then my matrix * cough* touring rims.. but on the other hand, they're 22mm wide rims, so i can jump on the "wider rims are actually better" bandwagon..

Even though it could be a showpiece it's actually my daily drive. It's turning some heads when I come flying. And yeah, MA40 clinchers 19mm. Bombproof as I'm 16 odd stones and quite aggressive when I ride. Hasn't even creaked once.

this is my Rossin, cant waaaait to get back on it on the track and buzz

This bike is still very much getting dollied up with new vintage parts!
Just won a crono special pista hs that's getting on the bike.

New tyres, new tape and new nuts on the back.

LOve the look and the Turbo seat... mmmm

Now this is a thing of beauty

Cheers Ribble!

Headset has arrived

Just realised that both nuts at the back are knackered! Been on there forever though so I guess it was their time.

New tyres are on, needs air in the tubes. Will have to wait for paycheck before proceeding with the rest. Just 13 more days!

Blimey, air must be expensive in your area if you have to wait for a paycheck! Looking fabulous, I'd stick with the 2 bolt seatpin as trackies back then used them almost exclusively, they coped better with track stresses.

Ha! Air is free, campy nuts are not. Noted on the 2 bolt!

Drool.
It was good, but now with the skinwall tyres it´s getting even better. More photos, please.

When it's complete it will be porn-shot like Jenna Haze.
