Description
Rossin is not the oldest of the great Italian bike builders but it is certainly up with the very best. Their story starts in 1973 when Gibi Baronchelli, riding for the Iclas Team, won the amateur versions of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France. Vittorio Ghezzi, the owner of the Iclas Team decided to build a professional team around Baronchelli. The plan was to use bikes supplied by Colnago who were already supplying bikes to the SCIC Team. With help from Colnago, Baronchelli jumped to the SCIC team, angering Ghezzi who dropped Colnago as a bike supplier for his team.
Mario Rossin worked as a frame builder at Colnago for several years and was invited to join the new company. On September 14, 1974, Cicli Rossin was established by five partners – Vittorio Ghezzi and his son Guiseppe, Alberto Inzaghi, Domenico Garbelli, and Mario Rossin, who all agreed that the new bikes would be called “Rossin.” The “R” in the Rossin logo was adopted from Rossignol skis, and the pentagon represents the five founding members of the company. Mario Rossin was the design genius behind the company’s beginning and ever since then, the Rossin name has been one of innovation and racing success.
Here we present a beautiful Italian vintage steel machine the Rossin Prestige, which dates back to the early 1990s and was one of the most advanced bikes on the market back then. The superb frameset is made of super light and stiff TANGE Hexagonal steel tubing. On the technical side, a classy Campagnolo Athena groupset, 3ttt cockpit and a San Marco saddle.
