Rossin Bike
Here is a bike I found in Kokkola (actually Eli found it). It's an Italian entry-level racing bike from about 1989. It seemed to be in good shape for how old it is. I plan to ride it a lot as soon as the snow melts, and possibly do a tour after school ends. If I can get it home, my mother will ride it since the frame is a little too small for me.

WOW! Extra nice bike. Rare colors. Is it for sale??? Interested party out of San Diego. Damian del Rio. ddelrio@mac.com.
I have had the same bike since 1989 size 56 cm. It is a real beauty! Never loose it!!
Thanks, rontikainen. I rode it in the Vatternrundan ride in Sweden -- a real treat! I am so happy I was able to bring it home from Finland. A friend (Lon Haldeman) helped me put clincher rims on it. (After my first sew-up repair I decided I had enough "learning experiences.) Those Italians value good bikes!
