Two seconds with a "pickle fork" and it was off, and now I'm trying to decide wether I want to keep it or not, because it is nice and shiny. I'll take photos later, but now I want to know if I can find a strap to fill those holes with. Conversley, if you have any interesting ideas for things to put in the holes I'm open to it.

This is one that I have been looking for a long time - I may have to keep this one for a while, but it woudl make number 10, and I'd start to think I have a problem.

Maybe.

@custermustache - Curious if you ever did settle on a solutiion for the shoulder strap on the Ross MTB? I recently got a chrome Ross Mt. Hood in great shape and planning on taking to the Cino Rider in Montana this July. I would love to be able to show up to the vintage event with a shoulder strap in place.
