74 Ross Compact

Nice tire for a muscle bike build. Has the squared-off profile like the old slicks.

And it was affordable [emoji41]

I can’t wait to get some decent outside pics of it

Meaty!

I think I could have went a tad larger. But I didn’t want it to look too out of proportion

That looks good.
Depends on the purpose of the bike.
Show or go. Mines being built to ride. And a 3" wide tire would just slow this old guy down.
But I have looked at them a time or two.

I build everything to ride. So it has to be able to fit me.

I had high hopes of maybe taking a test spin today. Nope our AC unit broke down. So we went out junk shopping.

I love watching stuff on dead formats

Goodwill had everything half off today

Made it out for a test spin. I need to shim the bars. The seat post is a little too short for riding. I still need to clean the front rim and put the new tire on. It’s sweet ride and shifted nicely. I need to fix the Kickstand the first gust of wind and it fell over [emoji2373]

Great job on the bike...and an excellent selection of movies

I had time today so I put my new front tire on. Double checked 3/4 of everything and went for a ride. Of course I forgot to tighten my shifter. Being stuck in second gear isn’t bad. Bike is fun to ride. I’ll have to get a longer seat post.

I put another 7 miles on it today. This is a nice solid rider. I’m pretty pleased with it so far.

Looking good. Always great to see build off bikes out being ridden.

I often wondered how many were build and never ridden.

I really like those Nexus 3 deals. I have one on my cruiser and another going on this build.

Longer seat post? Wow. The seat looks like it's as high as my belly button as it is!

Really cool bike though.

I’m 6’1, it’s not bad but if it was a tad higher I’d be happy. Thanks ! I’m happy with it
