I cannot agree with you strongly enough - the early/mid's 80's Rossin that my club brother gave me has become the pride of my stable. I'm currently tracking every Rossin that shows up on eBay with the eventual hopes of replacing the way out of period Fuji I'm currently riding.
Prices on these seem to be in one of two categories: Either in shabby shape for cheap money (I just passed on a 15-20 year old frame for $100 as I'm not really interested in getting into a complete repaint), or some utterly rediculous dreamers who think Rossin is just a slight misspelling of M-A-S-I (the really, really shabby one currently up for a $400 starting bid, $1200 Buy It Now - he's gotta be kidding).
If you haven't owned one before, you've got to add one to your collection. They've got to be the bargains of the fine Italian frames currently available.
Does anyone know of any web addresses covering a detailed Rossin history/listing of serial numbers/or whatever?
