This is the second bicyle I ever owned. My Dad bought it for me new when I outgrew my Schwinn bananna seat, which I still have too. Honestly I am not really sure which Ross model it is or exactly what year it was made. I decided to post some pictures on here because my wife really doesn't care. It is true that I didn't "make" any of the parts on it, but I did "make" a whole lot of decisions about turning what has always been my favorite bike, into a bike even awesomer.
The frame, rear brake set up, crank-sprocket-pedals and bullnose handlebars are all original to the bike.
I added a reproduction springer and saddle. Obviously this bike is Hi-Tech, so hi-tech that he old front brake set up required adjusting the brakes every time you wanted to adjust the handle bars. I got rid of the front brake, but I like the way the cable-stay appears to be part of the springer assembley.
Obviously isn't, but a lot of people think it is at first glance.
I converted it to a single-speed w/ freewheel, added 144 spoke wheels w/ brown Fat Frank tires.
Since putting it in its current state, the Ross has once again become my favorite bike to ride.
