The record series of SL frames seem to be all over the place, very difficult to find exact time frames as to when they were built, Super Record, Professional and Record all the same frames, the real differences were in the components bolted on. The companies production bikes at this time seemed to only provide needed income for their racing interests.

As a keeper paint it, painting and for sale is only going to be a loosing proposition, you are not going to get your time and money out of the bike. To many other more collectable Rossin's like the Ghibli and Prestige frames.

They do ride wonderfully, however, you don't seem to be interested in their ride qualities currently.
thanks for the information. This bike is too small for me, so out it goes. Ride quality doesn’t matter if the bike doesn’t fit. It is also much newer than my interest. This will help fund my recent (last 6 months) keepers: 1945 Benotto Cambio Corsa, 1940’s Vecchietti Vittoria Giuseppina, 1962 Paratella IBAC team bike and 1976 Singer.

I am pretty experienced at buying and selling bikes, so I appreciate the information on this one, and am pretty confident about selling it and doing just fine!
