Finally got my 3-speed internal hub...it comes wrapped in a nice town roadie by Ross, in a nice autumn brown, no less.

Anyone know this bike? The 'Ross Europa 3'? I like the looks of it, and the long-reach brakes. And of course, the hub.

Coming soon: The Project Dutch Bike!

The rub? I sniped a sleepy auction at 00:53. It was nerve racking, but my late bluff paid off as the bidding didn't get over $5.50 before the timer ran out.

I think I win some sort of prize in this thread?
j/k

But I do hope I can one day become an honourary member of this fine and exclusive club of vintage bike afficionados.

Does this mean I have to start drinking single malt and wearing slippers?
