That was the target, 90rpm average, and bigger gear would kill me when I was riding into the wind, and speed decreased from 41-43 to 33-34 :D

I had 19:13 with 46/14, 3.28 ratio but for 7,5 miles time trial. Also it was super windy, and competition took place in 2.5 mile long race track. On straight it was awful to pedal with super high cadence , but rest of the track was quite okay with that ratio.
Also, here's pic of my rig.

Ye, lots of Swiss francs per frame... Ok, its such an interesting topic, but its anti-porn topic, so we should end

none of them has the "UCI Approved" sticker on the frame

I guess back then frame didn't need to have one :D

Thanks for explaining that, I really though it was banned. So, technically, 2x700c forkmounts (like Takhion, Rychtarski or early Textima) are legal?

I believe paragraphs 1.3.021, 1.3.022 and 1.3.023 regulates design of fork and how bars should be mounted, and they don't mention possibility of fork mount, so obviously it is prohibited, otherwise it would be regulated.

@young_gun I think they sometimes just bought new frames, modern, and old were put in storages.

You aren't thinking like club mechanics, why buy new fork, spend money when you can cut old? Remember, for cyclist those were just a frames, not something to adore. They ride to win not to look cool.
"hmm, in 25y those frames will be considered supercool, I'll leave this fork and put new 650 instead, to preserve it for collectors" - seems legit

@123seb @Sig_Arlecchino Well, you have to know that between 80 and 90's law changed and forkmount frames were banned and 650c front didn't, so clubs cut forkmounts and used frames with normal handlebars. That's the reason why this Rossin is like that, also why many Takhions has cut mounts as well.

It's up to owner, not me :)

swedish cheese strikes again

@WroSS it's a machete ;)

This bike was repaired by Mr. Rychtarski, and 40h rear tandem pista was sick :D

Why you uploaded this, this bike is my nightmare, how I was able to made something like this, luckily later incarnations were better.

@winnifred1849 only stack of spacers, no antiporn here really...

u should put like 150 stem ;)

To not ruin CD coated rim for example...

My current project, Romet Super from 1987, on Columbus SP. It's nearly finished, after few not good incarnations, just some details to do like mission impossible - find Gran Sport 27.0x230 seatpost (only one long enough for me from classics), some pista chainring and front pista axle for hub (running on spare road after thread pista came off...). It might be frame from Polish National Team as it have "Polska" sticker on it.

Hi, how much for frameset only with shipping to Poland?

Adam

Hi, I have such bars, great condition, I think they might be used only for display purposes, with shipping from Poland 45 quid. Pm please if interested.

HHSB and HHSC in one picture :)

I don't have it anymore but it's Rychtarski after all ;)

Posting again, but it's awesome bike, and I don't think it could be better (maybe Slowie would install even more amazing parts hah).

Unfortunately in Poland we have only Basil "racks" and stuff like that, so it's quite difficult to buy anything... and import stuff like Cetma or VO is pricey.

Thanks :)

@bankiren what brand make this rack?
