Identify Rossin - new photos added

[ArabStrap1]

HI guys,
just bought the Rossin below from an Italian ads website but the only thing I have seen is the photo below and in January will go down to Italy to pick it up. Is any of you so into Rossin that can recognize the model? It looks like the seat stays and the forks are both chromed and should be fitted with a shimano but the seller didn't know which model (maybe 600?).I am pretty sure it is not a Prestige nor a Ghibli - any suggestion? thank you

No idea on the model but that's either one of those extra high stems or someone's dicing with death.

Should be a good ride once it's sorted out.

That’s what I thought when I firsts saw the bike. Then the owner told me he was selling it because his back was getting too stiff for road bikes and it all made sense. will definitely put it back to it’s natural position as soon as I manage to lay my hands on it. My brother is going to take some picture in the weekend and will post them so you guys can help me identifying it. I hope it is worth the 150 bucks I paid it. Cheers

150 Bucks?

I wouldn't have thought you'd be taking too much risk at that price... Would be good to see some photos up once you have it.

Still haven't seen it 'live' but got new photos... Tubing is Columbus Cromor and grupset shimano 500ex Exage so everything pretty average. Definitely not a bargain but may be worth £ 150.00? I am going to write to Rossin to see if they can provide any info with the serial number but I doubt it as Rossin has recently been bought by a new company and they probably don't retain any info on these old models. Let me know if you have any clue a about the model/year.

Another question - I am thinking about changing groupset and wheels - how much do you think I can get for a complete shimano eaxage 500 EX and those wheels? :?:

I still haven't been able to find out the model/year for this one but just found two ad of the same frame with better photos which might help:
