Hi All.

Despite my best efforts to grow an inch or two taller, I have finally concluded that my Rossin Pista will never fit me well. Since I have made it a rule to never keep a frame that didn't fit, I offer it here to the list.

FOR SALE 1980-ish Rossin Super Pista frame plus extras

When I received this frame a few years ago the frame was repainted by the previous owner. After some searching I found and applied the correct decals which are flawless and well-positioned. There are no dents and paint is near perfect with only one tiny nic that is covered by one of the downtube decals. Track ends show use.

The fork is chromed but does seem to be thinner on the crown and top 1/3 of the legs. When polished it looks great but over time these thinner areas tend to dull. There is some speckling on the backside of the crown consistent with use. Please see photos.

Specs - Size 60 cm measured c-t - Top tube measures 57.2 cm c-c - Head tube measures 18.4 cm end-end - Wheelbase is a tight 97 cm - Columbus SL tubing - Campagnolo fork tips, unknown track ends - 27.2 seatpost

This is a considerably rare frame. I've never seen one exactly like it so I would guess that few were made.

$850 frame/fork $1100 frame/fork + panto Super Record (not shown in photos) seatpost and panto Cinelli 1A stem (115), both of which were NOS when I mounted them.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
