70’s Ross Compact

[Modelcarjedi]

My mother bought this for me and I’ll pick it up over the weekend. Nothing like waking up from working nightshift and getting a text asking if you want this bike. I’ll find out more once I bring it home

You already got the snowflake, you are just a pair of tuffs and a few misc pieces from something like this...

There are a few such beasts on bmxmuseum.com...I just picked the one that had the snowflake .

I have four 'camelback' frames (two schwinn 24" & 26" and two aluminum) that will must likely get similar treatment...which is why I immediately thought of the same when you posted up the Ross .

Sweet! I have a 24” and 26” schwinn camelback frame. Not sure what I’m doing with this ross yet.

Its got good lines...it already has a bit of a custom look to it. Kind of similar to what I call, my lil' bobber...

Here's my little red 3-speed. I needed to add a long seat post and switch out the drop bars for riser bars to get the geometry to work. Note the double rear reflectors. Nice, lively ride.

You just gotta love the bend in those top tubes.
