Rossin Pista
Been working on this one for quite some time, but she’s pretty close to done and thought i’d share some early pics, weather has been rubbish last few days so these were taken inside, i’ll take some better ones soon enough, need to get a longer post and i may also need to get a longer stem, but for the time being it’ll be like this, recent purchases have left me very short of funds.
Rossin Pista
- 55 cm square Columbus tubing
- Campagnolo Chorus 27.2 aero seat post/Campagnolo seat post bolt/Concor Laser edition saddle
- Campagnolo Pista steel headset/Cinelli 1A 120mm stem/Cinelli Pista Aluminium bars
- Campagnolo Pista bottom bracket/Campagnolo 167.5 strada cranks (inner tabs ground off for clearance)/Fyxomatosis 47T/SRAM chain

- Campagnolo record high flange rear hub 3X to 32H Wolber Profil TX/Dura Ace 13T/Campagnolo lockring/Challenge Criterium 23C
The cranks, stem, post and hubs had the anodizing stripped in caustic bath and were polished with wet/dry 400/800/1200/1500/2000 and then finished on a polishing wheel. I cleaned and repacked the hubs (my first loose ball service) and they’ve been given the tick from two of Brisbane’s finest mechanics.
Many thanks to Bender for the wheelbuild and some parts along the way, Gypsy for lots of help with bottom bracket stuff and some parts, Dayne for parts and listening to me go on about it, tmasz and xcx also for that matter,
edit: i bloody love it too, super stoked, forgot to mention, its got inner tube wrap at the moment, until stem length is finalised, and some rim tape TT protector also, which i kind of like
