Going to add this information for reference. I don't think I've seen this info posted here (been a while since I read the entire thread).
This is the timeline and the main people involved with the Ross Signature series. Not so much for the more mass produced, imported 29X series "Signature" stuff, but the top of the line, handmade in PA frames/bikes.
This document was given to me by Tom Kellogg when I visited the Spectrum Barn in 2019.
