I probably get the 3ttt moscow takhions as I have one friend who could arrange me a set of those but if that turns out nothing, then I'll chop regular 3ttt moscows and flip the ends and weld back up so that they look similar as it's not that important what bars but how they look and I definitely need the rising bullhorns for a bit upwards position.

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.

Sadly I have to part on this and apparently there is so limited local market in Finland that I have to post here.
I have the whole set excluding pedals, skewers and one brake nut. They are now on a bianchi frame and ofc the complete is for sale also but postages gets expensive.
Little wear on crankarms from shoerub, otherwise good condition and chainrings are in good shape.
Asking 500£ for the gruppo plus I'll include spare rear sprockets or packs whatever is the right term. Price is negotiable. Just need to sell.

Everything is super record but brake levers are C-record and I also have the Ti-axle super record pedals but the cages are Suntour.
Everything is nice and tidy, cranks are 170mm and even the rear derailleur spring is still fresh and keeps the chain thight.
Wheels are moskva 80 rims laced on super record hubs.
I can sell the gruppo without wheels.
Price for the whole set is 400£ and we can negotiate about the splitting. Haven't checked the postage costs but for a gruppo those shoud be around 30£ with wheels bit more expensive though.

Juna disks are road disks so probably going to go with double fluidisks atleast now when a rear one popped up with very reasonable price to match the front 650c. Have to consider now what to do with the FIR disk as I bought it without really thinking so probably going to sell it.
