andyross: THANK YOU SO MUCH, on behalf of your family's history, for the awesome Ross bike I have, a 17 1/2" compact-frame "department store 10-speed". My dad got it for me in 1984 and I've ridden and continue to ride it almost daily, mostly in various urban locations flat to mountains. I don't own a car and it is the best and only bike I've ever needed, it's great. Tight turns, quick stops, stable and reliably solid, for better or worse it's also been up against multiple moving vehicle surprises and remains rock-steady. The frame is like-new. And yes, I've tried many other bikes over the years. GOOD JOB ROSS. Also a side thank-you to Allentown PA steel-works: You knew what you were doing.
