Zunow vs. Rossin
Remember this Rossin pursuit on Ebay couple of weeks ago, right? It sold for US $2,551.00 and the seller was located in Indonesia. Well, Olli just pointed THIS out to me, it's from last October and from Malaysia:
"Pursuit Frame for Sale
Here’s one pursuit frame in-store.According to the owner its a Rossin Olympic 88 but i couldn’t find any Rossin mark on the frame. After hours and hours of googling i came across Zunow in Chari and Co’s website.
The frame geometry is almost similar to this frame; that got me thinking whether this frame is a Zunow or a Rossin as claimed by the owner who happens to be an ex-cyclist.Seat tube is 55cm (C – T) / Campagnolo track end / Tange Japan BB (Optional) / 650c fork or 700c fork (choose) / No dents or dings / Minor rust (will soon gone!)Priced at RM3,000 for the frame + fork + bb."

(Fake?!) Rossin Pista Pursuit
This is Rossin is on Ebay now. The price has gone up from 400 dollars to the current 1500 dollars in less than 24 hours and there are still five days before the auction closes. Like whoa! Also check out the tiger and the scary horror movie dwarf or whatever in the background of the photo.
EDIT.
As pointed out at LFGSS, this could well be a fake, unfortunately. There are not any of the typical Rossin pantographs on the frame and the cool monostay cannot be found in any other similar pursuit Rossins, at least not on the ones one can find photos of online anyway. Also it looks repainted so buyer beware.
