If I had come across this, I'd convert it to a fixed gear or single speed (including changing out the crankset), clean up and sell off the 600 group, and hold onto the rack. There are actually some places in the country where Ross bicycles are well regarded (some pockets in Pennsylvania for one). My wife rides around a Ross Centaur that someone abandoned in a small town in Illinois, and she is quite pleased with it for the type of riding she does.
