Rossin project continues on at a comfortable pace. After prepping the frame for new decals, there was a significant wait for the new decals to arrive. It appears the customs departments of Australia or the US have no interest in seeing this build completed quickly, as it took a month for the package to arrive.
I applied the majority of the massive kit today, but still have some left to put on. I did install the top tube decal that came with the kit. There’s lots of internet images that show the top tube decal on this model frame, but this frame didn’t have it when I bought it - nor did it have any ghost images that would have indicated it was ever there. I kind of like how over the top the Rossin decals are, so it fits. You won’t forget what brand of frame you’re riding, that’s for sure.



Another mini project was replacing the brake pad nuts. For some reason the Campagnolo brake hardware doesn’t stand up to weather very well, it always look pretty battered. I purchased a set of stainless replacements at the local hardware store, but the nut profile was a bit too tall. Fortunately I have access to a machine shop at work. I had a coworker machine them to the correct thickness and he was also able to replicate the chamfered shoulder too. They do not look exactly like the original nuts, but look much cleaner. I’ll hang on to the OG’s and the next time I have some chrome work done, I will get them replated.



I post up some more pics after I get the fork finished up and install the headset
