I'm currently looking around for a nice steel Rossin (frame and fork) in mint to very decent condition.

I'm not up on the various frame geometries and steel tube materials but I do know my ideal frame size and geometry.

Which Rossin models and materials were considered ideal to have for various types of riding (climbing, sprinting, multi-hour rides)...which looks more like I need an Italian stage racing geometry?

Once I know the models and materials I can see if they're a good fit for me. And then there's condition and price. My size is 54 cm c-t-c for both top and seat tubes.
