Late 80s/early 90's Ross Adventurer turned SS commuter.
This is my first try at a conversion, I don't think it turned out too bad. Nothing super fancy, mostly a budget build as I'm a sorta sometimes employed grad student I think the frame for being a Ross isn't too shabby either. The only original components left on the bike are the seat post, and headset.






Despite some assertions from others that the Ross would have one piece crank, it actually had a cup-and-cone style BB that I rather easily upgraded to a Shimano cartridge style BB. Though, as you can tell from the chain ring I should have went with the 103mm, instead of the 107mm.



I'd still like to get new handlebars (the ones on there are from an old 24" road bike), and I'm digging the bar tape less and less. Maybe some natural color cork? The stem I picked up cheap at a LBS because the original was too long for my reach, but I'm wishing I would have went with something more classic looking like this instead: http://www.bikepartsmart.com/bike-co...hb447slb.html# . Still needs fenders too, the white plastic thing on my rear rack is currently my "fender".
I really like the way SS feels. I'm someone who's only every ridden department store MTBs, and BMX bikes so this thing to me feels light as a feather, and really flies. Though as much as I like my Ross... I've heard the Kilo WT may be available as a frameset at some point...
