Rossin Help

[kaya]

Hi Chaps

I don't want this to sound like a whats it worth thread, But I do want to know how good or bad these bikes are.
I have found a Rossin Quadno with Shimano 105 groupset and Biopace rings, it looks to be in good working order.

At this point I would normally post pics but I'm having problems, I know very little about road bikes I'm more off road but am road curious.
Any help appreciated and will try to sort out the pics.

cheers kaya

Heres some pics ( sorry pics from my phone )

Very nice, i'm a fan of rossin's maybe its my inherent italian steel racism coming to the surface...


That one there has high mid range columbus tubing, it would be cro-mo if it wasn't columbus. The brand name frame will definitely add to its value though...

Value wise...the 105 group is going to bump the price as they are always popular, have a look in the for sale section i'm pretty sure i saw a rossin in there recently.

Yours appears to be a rossin falkon quadro although i don't know what price they fetch as i have never seen one for sale...good hunting.


edit: that's not a price on the handlebars its the auction number...my bad.

Thanks for the reply, the bike is at a local auction house and as I'm there I was going to have a few cheeky bids.

I,ve not owned a road bike since the mid 70's and was thinking of looking for the last bike I owned (Eddy Merck's) but tripped over this.

The idea would be to use it as a cx bike, any thoughts if it would be strong enough.

I did a bit of research last night and found this, it looks very similar to the main pic.

As I said I'm not a road rider so any help would be appreciated

cheers kaya
