Hello Matt,
We have repainted many of these frames including this one recently posted on my site at:
http://www.cyclart.com/
With the bike above the owner opted for a simpler scheme than the factory original and a decal for his little club "Bicycle Grotto". The decals are our reproductions, however they are color combination Rossin did not do, to my knowledge. We are currently working on another Rossin for CR list member Jack Bissel and will have photos that completed bike posted next week. It is the famous Ghibli Mondrian finish. I have pretty good files on Rossin and Ten Speed Drive, and some TSD engraved components in stock. I worked with briefly with TSD owner Tom Easton, in the mid 1980's before the company folded in 1989. They also had an association with LeMond for a while and we painted many of the LeMond bike before and after the TSD phase.
I can probably scan and post imaged from the Rossin Catalogs, but right now have a problem with my ISP that may take a few days to resolve before I can upload. Call me to discuss if you like. 760-599-1015 X13

Hi - this is my first post to the list. I am restoring a hideously repainted '80s Rossin Ghibli (with the "groovy" top and downtubes), and am searching for any info on correct paint schemes beyond the couple of pics on the classicrendezvous site, which are so far the only ones I've seen.
Also, does anyone know what happened to Ten Speed Drive Imports in Florida, the Rossin importers (I think) at the time? If they were still around in some form maybe they'd have some info. Thanks a lot.
