dollar Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Hi Jaqwil. It does look similar. Funny thing about Rossin is that I see that they made a number of great track bikes in the 80's/90's but there is very little info on the net about Rossin - particularly this "Performance EL". The frame is different in that there are no head tube lugs, and the seat tube has a semi-lug for want of a better discription. Maybe some other hubbers know more about Rossin. BTW - its not quite finnished

dollar Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks. It does look like they made some pretty good bikes
OneMac Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Hi Dollar Looks great!I should have asked a stack more Well done!OneMax
dollar Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Maybe a tad??! I have found that it's actually not something you are going to make cash out of After you add up all the costs - even if they are all pretty modest, you get to about R3k. Who is going to buy it for R3k when you can get a new (second hand) Raleigh for R3500? It's good fun though - and it rides like a dream...
GTRacing Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I'm re-doing an old alpina, and turning it into a single speed. All Black with gold pinstripping, Deep section weels, And some 1 speed action. It's going to be a blast.gtracing2009-05-05 11:44:45
dollar Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 dont forget the pics. Maybe we need a "classics" pic gallery??
dollar Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Wow - DHC rings a very distant bell! Great bikes - never saw a pink one though
