This was my first build, before I stumbled upon the rat rod world. I found this vintage lugged steel Ross 10-speed on the side of the road. I put new wheels, bottom bracket, cranks, pedals, clips, straps, chain and BMX brake lever. The seat is a vintage mesinger I had on an old Western Flyer 10-speed. Rattle can paintjob. The rest is original. I still need to put the headbadge back on and I got some NOS decals at my LBS. Thanks for looking.

Looks good. It'd look really good if you matched the saddle with the brown straps on your toe clips and matching bar tape. It would finish it off quite nicely for that classic look.
 
Thats the plan. Brown leather saddle and brown sewn-on leather handlebar cover. Just gotta get the $$$!
 
What a beautiful bike. I can't believe someone threw it away.
