Mid-80s Rossin

The bike has been repainted/restored by me over the past few months. I am very pleased with the color and the component selection. I've had this bike out of commission all winter so I had forgotten how much fun it is to ride.

Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Campagnolo Triomphe Crankset 52-42/Campagnolo Triomphe Bottom Bracket

Pedals:

Campy water bottle is just for the photos. I got it free from my father, but that old plastic has a funky odor and there's no way I'm going to drink from it. I have a King Cage and a Chris King water bottle to use for rides.

More Info:
Bought on Craigslist in Atlanta, GA.

I like the look of the fade, but I'm not sure how much I'll like riding it in the long run. I'm not sure what I'll try if I decide to change it, although I was impressed with the Fizik tape when I was at NAHBS this year.

Thanks. This was my first road bike and now I'm kind of obsessed with vintage road bikes.
