Never heard of Ross, but it’s a nice looking lugged frame. Good bones on this one. And I’m a sucker for bullmoose bars. 😍

Bullmoose with a good rise, too! Clean em up best you can and hopefully you’ll get a nice cruiser out of this one.

Ross was built in PA. Made some good stuff.
That was the year Ross debuted the first-ever mass-produced mountain bike. There is always a difference of opinion in the cycling industry about who invented the mountain bike, but there’s one thing that is a fact; Randy Ross and his team at Ross were the first to ever mass-produce the mountain bike. It was in those years, Ross had officially solidified themselves as pioneers and innovators to the sport of Mountain Biking.
Shortly after producing the first mountain bikes, Randy launched the first factory-sponsored professional mountain bike race team, the Ross Indians. The Ross Indians are known to be the first mountain bike race team in existence. To this day, Randy Ross is well known in the cycling industry and highly respected for his contributions to the sport of mountain bike racing. From 1946-1989, Ross Bicycles became one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in the world. The bicycles were American Made, quality, and sold all over the country. The company was always successful with its bicycle division.
Ugly maybe, but good bones: lugged steel frame, braze-ons for racks, etc. This will make a great xbike, especially if you leave the patina. Congrats!

The tires held air so I took it to the corner store. It handles nicely. The wheels spin great considering it was obviously kept outside in the rain. They are legit made in Belgium weinmann rims too. Brakes suck, the levers are wobbly, and neither derailleur moves. I was going to fix it and sell it cheap to a friend who had his bike stolen but now I want to keep it. Prob too small for him too…
