Rossin Record 50th Anniversary Bike 1980s

In 1973 the managers of the prestigious ITLA team reached out to an excellent framebuilder who had been working for Colnago for many years: Mario Rossin. After a short time of planning, they decided that Rossin should build the bikes for the team and at the same time a new brand with his name should be born.

Not much later, in early 1974, Mario Rossin started to build his first frames.
Naturally the first batch of Rossin bikes went to the ITLA team.
Deriving from their design, the Rossin Record was born. An absolute top class racing machine of its time which was already so well developed that it was successfully built and used for 10 years with only minor changes to the design.

The machine we are presenting here has such a great frame. The tubing is Columbus SL, the 'jack-of-all-trades' of Professional frame building steel.
As groupset serves the famous Campagnolo 50th anniversary gruppo.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of his company, Campagnolo released an initial number of 5.000 pieces of this extraordinary groupset. In the production they made an excessive use of titanium an golden emblems. And every groupset got its very own number engraved.

Number one went straight to Campagnolo's own museum. Number two was presented to the pope.
In the meantime Campagnolo began to produce more of the sought-after anniversary groupsets to meet the expectations of the market. They just stopped when the number of 15.000 groupsets was achieved

These special parts turn our Rossin into a unique top class bike.
A perfect machine for any vintage cycling event or to impress bike snobs and neighbours alike.
