Thanks for the replies folks. I took her out for a ride tonight and was shocked at how well it rode. It shifts like it’s new, the ride is smooth, and honestly I felt really comfortable. And that’s the magical part. Technically, this bike is too big for me. Its a 56cm with a 55cm top tube. My carbon bike is a 53/54 and feels longer. The Ross is way more comfortable and more stable around corners, even with these old wheels. Now the Ross weighs twice as much, but boy the ride was nice!
Couple of more points about the bike. It doesn’t have any numbers stamped under the bottom bracket, only on the drop outs starting with 1282xxxxxx. The sticker that I cant read is about 3” long. Based on the size of the script, it can’t be more than one short word, adding to the mystery.
