I just finished up 70+ hours polishing up this 1985 ROSS HITECH MT HOOD. All original even the uncracked tires . The only part missing is the shoulder strap. The bike is also missing 1 decal which is shown in the 1st pic anyone know where to get 1?
this is the only missing decal.

I just picked one up for $50. I want to refinish it. Did you ever find the decal? Where did you get your "Ross" and "Mt. Hood" decals?

Does anyone know how Ross serial numbers run? I have a Mt. Hood that’s all original except for the seat and tires but I’m not sure what year it is.
