Rossin SL Early 1980's

So to clarify -

mid to late 80's brake cable in the top tube
mid to late 80's gear cables route through the BB

Therefore my Prestige should date mid to late 80's.

I thought the cutout 'R' in the BB was a newer feature - obviously i am mistaken and it would date early 80's.

This is possibly a step forward. I have some brochure details but i cannot look at them on this PC but it gives the groupsets available on the road bike - one Campag and one Shimano. I think the Campag group was the Chorus RS group which a helpful RBer (thanks Paul) dated to 1992 and the Shimano was DA with Sti levers - i cannot access the doc to check exactly which one.

I am pushing my Prestige into the 90's but perhaps it was raced in the late 80's prior to being released to the public - this is where is has gotten complicated without some pics of the bike with a race team.

Any help would be appreciated - as always.

Weight

Out of interest I weighed my frame and with the headset and forks its about 2.4KG

Typically without the lugs and headset they are about 1.9 for SL, a lot of the sites show weights for tubes only and not complete frames.

I would be inetersted to hear if anyone else has a weight for the frame and the tube tyoe ?
 
Steve,

I will be able to weigh mine during the week but not at the moment as i can't get to it - my wife's car is in our garage and the frame is in the attic!!! I will try and get it weighed this week. I should say my forks are heavy.

Richard

p.s you get about!!!lol

These all seem to point to 1990 ish

If you look at the list of possible teams (note two are Rossini) you could try searching for info on the later teams

Steve,

Here are pics of mine -

http://s1290.photobucket.com/albums/b52 ... 0Prestige/

I find it hard to see the difference in the dropouts on the links above although i am tired!

My rear spacing seems to have been 126mm although it appears that this was changed - see pics of the dented chainstay.

This 126 spacing is what seems to make it older than late 80's but i stand to be corrected.

Will Richard ever find out when his frame was made - What the colour was - What type of decals did it have and what spec' was on the bike.
