" Who made a crappy frame and used good components? That's the bike I want to find!!!"

This old thread asks a good question and there was at least one bike like this. I did a repaint on a 71 Raleigh SuperCourse and wanted to upgrade the drive train. Eventually I found a Ross Professional Grand Tour new in the box on e-Bay for $105 + shipping.(this was about 5 years ago) The bike had a heavy mild steel (high tension) lugged frame but was equipped with the ornate early Shimano 600 group. I stripped the bike down to a bare frame and used the new parts and wheelset on my SuperCourse. I never did anything with the frame/fork & I eventually sold it to a kid who wanted to make a fixed gear bike. Ross made a lot of bikes, so there must still be some out there. This is the picture I used on Craigs list, its the only one I have of the bike. If you find one & want to use the frame, be sure it has a seat post. They are unusually small & would be hard to find.
