i picked this up at the bike show in dudley ma on sunday. unfortunately i left my camera at home so i had to take this from my picture phone. that's too bad 'coz the doors made for a cool backdrop.
i've been looking for a vintage lugged mtb w/horizontal dropouts for an IGH build. i bought this for that reason but the more i think about it the more i am inclined to keep it as is. it's got it's fair share of rust but i should be able to take care of it. i know it's 'just a ross' but it's super comfy and has all the suntour stuff and i've had good experience with the ukai rims. i'm a big guy so i dont care that it weighs like a tank.
of course if i keep it as is, that means i have to continue the search for the right frame for my IGH wheelset. not sure the wife will be pleased about that and i dont know how much longer i can sleep on the couch!
