Okay, these frames are quite rare and there are a little pictures + information in the internet so I try my best to find all additional information about the frame or bike that I can manage for future informational purposes and to please followers of this project with visual content.
So the frame is as stated in the title a Rossin pursuit and it is made of Columbus EL OS tubing. I found it NOS but it have had wheels on place when in storage. Never ridden. This has cool fork mount for handlebars which brings challenges considering the handlebars.
Some info I managed to find: Behind following link I found catalogues considering these rossin EL frames. I'll attach the important pic also here. It has some info of the og parts to this and the manfacturing year seems to be around 1992.

I'll list some parts I'm considering for this build:
Wheels: Preferably double fluid disks. The front one 650c is on the way and I could have a converted Juno moscow kevlar disk - which I have borrowed for testing - for the rear end but I prefer fluid disk (I do not prefer the regular online price though) and will obtain one if I find something with reasonable price locally or via internet.
Handlebars are going to be either 3ttt moscow takhion bars or then maybe some other 3ttt moscow model which I mod to similar style than the takhion bars by chopping the ends of and turn those around with some welding action.
For the crankset + seatpost the logical option would be Campy C-record but those are quite expensive so might go with modern record crankset + some random aero seatpost.
Headset is a gipi pista which at least in Finland was the standard with rossins.
I also have a Olmo pursuit fork for this for regular stem purposes but if I get the handlebars for the fork mount then I'll put this onwards (or keep it as it's columbus max and quite nice).
I'll update this topic as the project goes on. Hopefully people find this nice to follow.
