Good day listers,

I am selling 4 Italian frames on ebay:

- c. 1978 Rossin Record, 59 c-t: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220205427233&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 A lovely frame, with the chrome headlugs and rear triangle, and the creamy white paint. The frame is chromed for the most part, which caused the paint to flake off the bb shell. I have retouched that area, but as the pics show, this is far from perfect. But effective. There are some more touch-ups, and a dent in the downtube which is hard to spot if you dont know. This frame really rides well (when pushed hard), ive used it for a couple of months. - c. 1984 Rossin Record, 56 c-t: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220205426796&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 This one has seen some hard use (in Belgium), has been resprayed, with partly incorrect decals applied, and seem some hard use since. Needs good touch-ups at least, but is in good condition nonetheless. - c. 1982 Chesini Gran Premio, 55 c-t: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220205426572&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 Back in the day Chesini supplied complete bikes; this one was somewhat below their top bikes. Columbus Zeta tubing, less pantographing, and a Chesini headset, a Rino perhaps. The seatpost is Rino, and the chainset was Rino too (not included). The milled gearlevers you see in the pics are not included too. A very nice frame which has seen very little use. The chips are probabaly a result of the bike being stored in a shed with other more frequently used bikes. - c. 1987 Concorde Astore, 55 c-t: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220205426686&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 Again this frame is in very good condition, hardly any scratches or chips. Columbus Cromor tubing, and a very striking colour scheme, love-it-or-hate-it I guess.
