Rossin

Cyclists the world over, including top performers from the U.S., Soviet Union, Belgium, Poland and Italy ride the professional Ghibli model for its ultimate performance capabilities. The Ghibli is built with an exclusive Rossin tubing system forming its own trademarked rippled Columbus SLX tubing. Extremely eye catching, the Ghibli’s rippled tubing provides a stiffer more responsive ride. The creation of each Ghibli requires many hand hours and includes Rossin’s own investment cast lugs which are molded especially for the Ghibli and SLX models. Efficient and responsive, Rossin Ghibli bicycles are the official bicycles of Team Ten Speed Drive for 1988, the reigning U.S. National Road Champions.

Rossin RL Sante’

RL Component Packages:
Chorus, Super Record, Sprint, Sante’, 105.
RL Colors:
Aqua Blue/White, Red/Yellow/Blue/Gray.

Every Rossin frameset is built with top quality Italian products and proven racing geometries. The RL is an excellent bicycle, moderately priced and built with Columbus SL tubing. The Rossin legacy is the brainchild of two of Italy’s greatest modern day cycling designers. Sr. Rossin, a world class frame builder with over 25 years experience teamed his internationally famous skills with the talents of cyclocross specialist Sr. Garbelli in 1974, establishing Rossin bicycles. Among his many accomplishments, Sr. Garbelli won over 200 cyclocross races and as a trainer he recorded wins at the world’s most prestigious races including Milan San Remo, Paris-Roubaix, Giro Della Fiandre, and the Giro de Italia. Today Rossin is considered as one of the world’s most contemporary frame builders offering the most spectacular and innovative paint finishes in all of Europe.

The component and color lists are at the right and the text sits on the yellow triangle at lower right.]

Rossin 4400 Crono Cromor Tri 105

Crono Cromor Component Packages:
Chorus, 105.
Crono Cromor Color:
Red/White.

When racing against the clock, the Crono Cromor offers the ultimate aerodynamic advantage. Built with Columbus Chrome-moly tubing, the Crono Cromor parallels the geometry of higher priced Crono bicycles. Rossin is directly credited with the development of the first Crono bicycle (funny bikes). Rossin Crono bikes were first used competitively by Kuiper and Oosterbosch during the 1981 Trofeo Baracchi Classic. The Crono was further developed and chosen by the 100km Italian Gold Medal team at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Rossin RC 4000 Cromor Sprint

Cromor
Component Packages:
Chorus, Super Record, Sprint, 105.
Cromor Colors:
Black/Fuchsia, Black/Blue, White Quadro, Blue Quadro.

The evolution of Columbus Chrome-molybden double butted tubing has opened the door for the Cromor® bicycle to come of age on the racing circuit. Lightweight and exceptionally efficient, the Rossin Cromor® is excellent for either racing or training.

Rossin Marathon Mountain Bike

Rossin Concept Max Mountain Bike

Marathon Component Package:
Deore XT.
Marathon Colors:
Yellow/Fuchsia/Black, Fuchsia/Blue, Red/White/Yellow.

Sr. Garbelli’s personal fascination with American Mountain bikes motivated him to begin developing a Rossin Mountain bike. The Marathon Mountain bike was developed by Rossin for the 1981 Milan International Cycle Show. The Marathon is a product of internationally shared technologies. Sr. Garbelli’s experience as the Italian National Champion in seven World Cyclocross Championships provided the perfect transition to present day mountain biking, whereby he developed today’s competitive mountain bike geometries. Internationally it’s no coincidence that top quality mountain bike geometries are now close to cyclocross racing geometries. Rossin’s next generation mountain bike has been developed with the new Columbus Max Tubing. The Rossin Concept Max Mountain bike offers the most advanced off road racing technology available.
The oval profile of the Max tubing provides the rigidity required by top professionals. Paralleling the dynamic paint finishes of the road models, all Rossin Mountain bikes are hand detailed with DuPont® paint for a top quality finish.

Concept Max Component Package:
Deore XT.
Concept Max Color Option:
Green/Fuchsia.

The component and color captions sit under each bicycle and the text block is at lower right.]

Rossin Trofeo Crono

Rossin bicycles are manufactured in a new ultra-modern factory with state of the art brazing and assembly equipment. Every Rossin frameset receives a special anti-rust treatment, and beginning this year investment cast lugs will be used on the Cromor, SL, SLX, Ghibli and Concept Max Mountain bike. The new Rossin factory features Europe’s first DuPont® certified paint facility. Ten Speed Drive Imports worked closely with Rossin to develop their comprehensive painting facility. Rossin bicycles are professionally designed, hand crafted for racing precision and finished with Rossin’s DuPont® paint application system for unmatched superiority in the racing world.
