Good thread.
I recently salvaged a Ross Mt. Rushmore from the dumpster. After a good scrubbing, lube and new rubber the bike runs amazingly well. I was looking for some info on the bike when I stumbled across this forum.
Now I know why all the references are post mortum. Its a shame. The high end mfgrs seem to forget that biking is about fun. This bike is very shiny silver and just fun to ride.
