I recently took possession of my daughter's Ross bike- it has been her train station bike for the last eight years or so. I upgraded her to a Cannondale city bike with a bambino seat on the back. Anyway, I bought this from a forum member as a bare frameset back then, already painted flat-ish black, which was perfect for the intended application, and built it up with an appropriate dog's lunch of components. It's been a great back and forth piece of transportation for her.

However, before I give it to the co-op, wanted to find out what we had here. A few pictures are attached, although with this crazy new forum format I never know where they will show up in a posting. Has some nice solid lugwork, star/diamond shaped bottle cage braze-ons, a chain hanger, under the BB cable routing, no tubing seams that I can see inside of the steer tube or seat tube, takes a 27.0 seatpost. Nicely mitered tube joints, plain tube style brake bridge, recessed brake mounting. Dropouts look to be nice, but no brand name on them. Easy clearance for 700 X 28's, possibly even 32's. Serial is 1184100360, no RA on the BB. BTW, the serial was hidden beneath the plastic cable guide. Spacing is 126. Pictures attached.



Any guesses? A 290 series?
Thanks for looking.
