If memory serves me correct, I was told that Ross bikes were built in Allentown Pennsylvania. They also made ammo boxes for the military. I wasn't introduced to them until 1979, when I started my first real job, in a really small bike shop in North/Central Indiana. They were our American brand bike we stocked. That was many years ago. Great bikes! Wish I had some of the MANY I built back then.

Seeing this is a Ross thread I have some questions, were they ever made in England, did they ever make a lightweight. I have 1 that confuses me. Look at the pics and tell me what you think. It's the black frame with wheels.

'65 Ross Polo...

Forgot all about the Polobike! I mainly remember the Barracuda in the '60's, so this jogged my memory. Very slick!

Thats most likely an import, then lightly branded for them.
After-all the head badge does state that it is an Armstrong. A lot of companies did that in the 50's and 60's.
It looks like a 50's version.

View attachment 656670 Hello to anybody who likes Ross bikes .These double catalever frame bikes are super rare only found two and bought them both ..please feel free to add any pictures of any you may have like to see how many are out there thank you so much Terry and Tammy (front bike is a 65 and rear is 64)

Attached is a pic of me and my Super Deluxe that I received at Christmas in 1962. It was handed down to my brother when I went to college and have never seen it again. I have been looking for one for over three years. A 1962 would be nice, but I'd happily purchase any model in that time frame provided it was a black one. Your bikes are beautiful - with any luck I'll find one again!
