All these gorgeous Ross MTBs, thought to post my April find. This Mt Hood is very original including one original Ross knobby. A college bike, very rusty but most of it came up with foil. I like the Cunningham brakes matching my 1986 Cannondale so I know how to set them up. Suntour XC Sport stuff and motorcycle levers, chrome and Araya wheels actually light when compared with hi ten Ross Mt Rushmore I bought new in 1989 and still own and ride. The geometry is identical but that massive stem changes the riding stance forward and lower.

New cables, saddle, and touring tires, all bearings repacked. I am cheap (Noglider called me frugal, how generous) but I also will forgo trading out parts to keep a bike original. I finally got the Nagaoka rear rack straightened up and remounted to keep it level go the ground.
