Sad to let this go, but I need to make room for other stuff.

It underwent extensive renovation in two continents and is, if I do say so myself, pretty awesome.
Frame had some chainstay issues, a seized BB and a broken cable stop when I got it, these were fixed in Colombia by a friend who did the work at Jose Duarte's (http://www.alpsandes.com/posts/clinginq ... going.html) workshop in Bogota under his supervision, the fillet brazed Tange fork also had the steerer extended and the whole lot was stripped and chromed. It was brought back to London where it was painted, we had some discussions about the paint and in the end I just suggested he did what he liked with it as long it looked kind of 80s - he was a Professional rider in Italy in the 80s and 90s and recalls seeing a Rossin at the factory painted in a similar fashion. I appreciate it is not to everyone's tastes but it is incredibly well done, the decals came from H Lloyd and are under the (numerous) layers of lacquer.
Not built up since the refurb the paint is mint and it is ready to be built up and ridden/hung on the living room wall.
TT: 21.5" centre to centre
ST: 19" centre of BB to top
1" steerer fork
