Need Help with building up an old Rossin frame
Hi,
I recently got hold of this frame:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/amphalo...523341/detail/
Which I believe is a repainted Rossin from the 80's. I don't have much experience of building up vintage geared bikes and was wondering if anyone could recommend the right sort of gears to go with it. I'm particularly confused by the front mech braze on which I haven't seen before.
Would this have used Campag bits?
Ideally I'd like to have modern indexed gears, hoping that this won't offend too many purists.
Thanks
Tom
