The Fabulous Fake Fuchsia Rossin arrives (PICTURES)
...virtually straight out of the box, save for a pair of Mavic 192 rims laced to Sovos hubs (if anyone happens to have some spare Mavic 192's, give me a shout!).
Thanks Gilberto!

YES!!!! I was wondering when you were going to let me know if you got it.
So was it easy to put together?? 
I have to take pictures of the Raleigh as I have it all set up with a few add ons. Glad this worked out for both of us. Oddly; now that it's not mine; I like it more.

That looks like genuine fuschia to me.
Nice bicycle Kurt.

Who knew that such a horrible color could look so nice? It's amazing what a beautiful bike can do.
Do you think that they make us look better?
Nice bike. Congrats!

). I have yet to tie down the brake cables or crankset - figured I'd replace the cables and polish up the BB/crankset first.I'll hold you to those Raleigh photos
You bet. Even though this machine is technically for Mum, I definitely intend to "repossess" it occasionally - that two-tone magenta/fuschia color is absolutely stunning in person. It literally screams "I need to move. Fast. Now."
. Not in this instance. I'd say the frameset and the color compliment each other nicely. Same for the "progressive arrow" Rossin decals.I think we make bikes look pretty pathetic

I'll ride a pink bike, but I won't wear a pink jersey - that is for sure. TI-Raleigh, now...there's a different story.
Campagnolo-pattern Kool-Stop pads should do the trick.
On a side note, I'm positive that I've found a fork crown match (I still don't know what this thing is):
PX-10:
Not that I'm suggesting that this is a PX-10 - the threading is English - but the crowns might just be a link. I'm not sure if this is a Nervex crown or not though (and I've seen it on the stock PX-10's with a Nervex Pro main lugset) - Miamijim might be able to answer that.
