New Year Build - It's Ross MX-Time!!

<< < (3/7) > >>

Avro:
Looking forward to this one.
I am also interested in the 'Procraft' frame pictured in this thread. I like frames with track racing dropouts, I have one myself. Although frequently associated with low end BMX (unjust as far as my research has shown) they are kinda' neat.

griff:
Nice one Mick - every day is a school day on here  :daumenhoch:

Andyboy77:
Very nice find Mick! The weldings looking really good!  :4_17_5: I'll keep an eye on this thread  :daumenhoch:

Lovely looking frame that Mick. When I first saw the Ross Piranha ad I wondered if it was a Tange frame but later found out about the Ishiwata connection. Are you sure about Tange fabrication on this? I would have thought US fabrication was more likely :/

Is there anything stamped on the forks?

Mikku:
Thanks for the comments guys! For what it's worth, I prefer the babe in black on the left!  :daumenhoch:

Cheers Paul! I'll bow to your greater wisdom on all things Tange, as I have no real idea on the fabrication - that was just supposition on my part, going on the Tange BB and Ishiwata tubing. 2 + 2 = 5 and all that! :daumenhoch:

Actually, when I first picked up the frameset I contacted Tom Kellogg, the framebuilder who worked for Ross in the early 80s (he designed their high-end road bikes) to see if he could shed any light on it but he said that he'd had no involvement with the BMX bikes. :'(

I will check the forks. What are you expecting to see, if anything?
