Rossin Shimano 600 arabesque

And Shimano drop outs on a pukka Italian frame... Not looking good

I thought shimano dropouts were ok if it was made Friday p.m.?
BSA bb threading though...

Any pantographs on it? That head tube badge is indeed wrong.

It's a nice looking bike, but it seems the decals are readily available, and the jury's out.

There are some fake Rossins on ebay.

I might start a thread on fakery in the bike trade.

Good call Fake Hetchins there are aplenty... Apparently.

If it didn't have the Rossin decals I'd have said "decent quality Japanese frame, by Miki or Miyata or some such."

Like @bikeworkshop said, the serial number (and the way it has been applied) should tell us more.
