Ha thanks mate, actually she's in Manchester most of the time so it's Manchester's famous potholes it will have to deal with — road surfaces are pretty serious up there!
Actually the bigger tyres idea was mainly to do with the fact that she's new to this whole bike thing and I didn't want to make her deal with skinny tyres straight away.

Really pleased with the way it turned out, the frame sat next to me at work for a couple of months while I collected the parts, felt like one of those projects that was never going to happen for a while. So glad it did.

Sainsburys Ed · 2 Weeks Ago

That's gorgeous Guy, absolutely timeless.

worth the wait?

dmczone · 2 Weeks Ago

That is a beauty!

Tell me about it!!

I finally installed the Gilles Berthoud on the Mercian... Quite pleased with the result.
That the latest state of the Mercian and probably it will remain like this, so I can issue pictures in current project...

I have a B17 champion narrow that would colour match better the bar tape, but I like the fact that the bike is not a advertisment for Brooks (I love Brooks though...). The mudflap is DIY...

Szia

Loic

forms · 2 Weeks Ago

lovely.

Superprecise · 2 Weeks Ago

Ooh la la

arantrek · 2 Weeks Ago

Gizmond - Awesome bike!

So that's the 'little project' you were talking about!

duck · 2 Weeks Ago

Ive been tidying up my old track bike;

Thought it was looking pretty good, apart from the rear rim. I changed it back when i was racing on it and didnt keep the original. its an Araya Aero2 24 spoke and im trying not very succesfully to find another. I used to get people always wanting to buy the handlebars, they`re nitto Aerodynamic.

I bought it in the early nineties from a wholesaler who didnt seem to know much about it, but reckoned it was a show bike from the late eighties and might be Japanese. It was plain white with no makers marks or transfers (the Venom decals is just the respray). It has suntour dropouts and suntour superbe pro group.

If anyone out there has any ideas as to what it might be id love to know. i didnt take much interest in it when i was racing it but now i think its a great looking thing.

forms · 2 Weeks Ago

The fork crown is gorgeous.

All campag bits, not a full group, just each of the bits I like the best :-)

Thank you all, I'm pretty happy with it.

Harry.Major · 2 Weeks Ago

Haj: Nice. Rossin club FTW.

Now, I am in need of a bike to do longer Audax-rides on, and I'm planning on restoring this to working condition using a mix of older Shimano 600, DuraAce, and perhaps 105-parts.. depending on what I can find for free/cheap during the winter... and run a pretty low gearing (mtb cassette + something with smaller rings in the front). It will be STi shifters since I already have a complete set of Shimano 600 shifters/mech..

Now that tube has a funny shape yes? :)

80's italian graphics.

WTF? it looks like it might have a number stamped in it under the paint on the stay, and that it was filled before painting.. I think perhaps a bit of rust is making it stand out? the paint is cracked as can be seen, don't think that stay is cracked.
The stay on the other side dosn't look like that, and it sure as hell dosn't say "Rossin" there.. The other number on the ST is the required by danish law framenumber stamped by the bikeshop that sold it.

Columbus Matrix... don't know how common this is? or how good? Lugs look pretty standard.

original stem.. :) Bars are black Belleri.

Shit front brake, 500EX.

The bike is equipped with a cheap shit gruppo, 500EX..

original saddle... Rossin's came with these..

Hope this surface rust will polish up... without damaging the graphics..

Looks like early 90's Look-pedals.. made of plastic, only identification I can find is that it's ARC-system..

Show a bit of the dirt... that wheel has a broken spoke, could be why it was put away.. it hasn't been doing many kilometers judged by the brakewear.

Would be funny to know if anyone else has seen a Rossin with non-round tubing like this? It looks to me like it's a mid-range frame with low-range parts on it..

whos a lucky boy, pm harry.major he has a funny shaped rossing too

Dutch Cheese · 2 Weeks Ago

Sorry guys, I really had to re-paint it, because it was really ugly and the paintjob was poor.
Now it's all black powdercoated.
This picture is before the "home brew" decals are applied...
Nice toy to play with, the coming weeks.

Frame and fork Columbus steel. Roto BB-shell, possibly Cinelli fork crown, Campag dropouts.

- Dura Ace BB-7600 English thread
- Dura Ace cartridge threaded headset
- Dura Ace 27.2mm seatpost
- Concor light team edition saddle
- 3TTT Super Competizione Gimondi 44 o-o bars
- 3TTT Record (?) 14cm stem
- SRAM PC870 chain 3/32"
- Dura Ace 16T cog
- Dura Ace SPD-R pedals
- Wheels: Navigator Pista Tubular with Conti's or Miche Pistard Clincher with Vredestein Fortezza TriComp, or some others...like Mavic Comete.
- Bar tape Bike Ribbon Eleganza black (perhaps I'll change to plain white)

Powder coated F&F glosssy black with some waterslide artwork

Got this baby today. Same as with all other babies, it's ugly when you get it.
It was not for free, but for rediculously little money. Seller even has a 2nd one to go...

No, very very not free. Easily the most I've ever spent on a frame. Looks like it'll be the most I've ever spent on a bicycle when I'm done with it. But its lovely. Just hope I like riding geared.

That is stunning.
I heart Mosers!
Will be building my old repaired one up in spring I hope.
need to see rik this week about some wheels.
I owe him about a gallon of beer too now!

I just pulled a bike out of a box.
But I ain't going to show you kids, well maybe later.

haj · 2 Weeks Ago

More photos of the free Rossin.. after dismantle and a quick wash..

What would be the correct english word for tubes shaped like that?

The finishing of the frame is not very good.. the decals bubble a bit some places and the paintfilling in the lugs are a not done very good..
