Pepsodent - Rossin Record

[cape]

I'm on a sick leave until the 23rd so I thought I'd spec an another bike. So this is what I got, an 80's Rossin Record. It's green, built with Columbus Pre-SL and has something called a "retinato" paintjob. The Basso I built earlier is essentially a commuter and this one will be more like a ss long haul trucker (I wish I had one of those).

 

I really have no idea what they were thinking of when they made this:

The frame is in worse nick than I thought. Both the fork thread and the bb shell thread have been damaged. How serious is this?

Depends on how badly damaged, but a good bike shop or an engineering shop should be able to chase the threads.

Pretty simple job.

Thanks quintonb,

There is a noticeable dent on the steerer which is preventing me from installing the headset. I'll give my LBS a call tomorrow and see what they can do.
