Samsonite Special
 
Having a bit of fun here. When I saw the link to the 1939 Raleigh Club Sports a lightbulb flashed and I thought "Hey, I can build one of those!".

Flipped bars. check
mudflaps. check
rattrap pedals. check
Oversize (Samsonite travel bag) saddlebag. check

Now all I need is a frame pump, a Carradice saddle mounted bag rack, and some lights and I'll be ready to go clubbing!

Hey, what else are ya gonna do with a Shimano FFS equipped Ross Eurotour? ;) :D

Hey, that's great! I love the look, especially the ghetto'd Samsonite. What kind of seat (and matching grips) is that?

Thank you! The grips and Messenger saddle are original equipment. The only thing not original are the pedals, mudflaps, bag, and I flipped the bar over. Eaaasy build. ;)

Kewl!

That thing is Awesome! Man.. for some reason that old Ross is dripping class all over the place.


Under edit... I'm going to have to build something like that. Time to raid the parts pile!
