What is this old Ross mini chopper/muscle bike?
Hi all,
I found this in a thrift store yesterday & have never seen anything like it! I bought it for only $12.95 and have tried tied to find it but have had no luck - can anyone tell me what I have?
Thanks

It looks like an early pre-bmx specific framed bike. We called them MX (motocross) bikes and built them from Schwinn Stingray frames. Seems like there were a lot of those "funny bikes". Ross made the Apollo which was straight bars. My buddy Dave had a Sears Screamer that was similar. It had several speeds and huge butterfly handlebars. It would have made a better boat anchor than a rideable bike.
