Early Ross mountain bike

[duncan]

I found this Ross mountain bike last week for sale at a local antique store. Went back today, and got it.
The gears need to be fiddled with to make them fully functional, and the rear brake leaver is kind of stuck, so no rear brakes. There's a weird fender up front that's bent, so it rubs the front tire a bit, but other than that, it rides great! Theres also some scratches on the frame, and some light rust on the chrome, but there doesn't seem to be any dents besides the right pedal, cracks, or anything that bad.
Anyways, heres some pics. Sorry for the night pictures, Its the best i can do till tomorrow.

What do you guys think?

You did good,those slingshot handlebars are worth what you paid for the whole bike

Thanks! Yeah, I really like the bars on this, and i know a couple of people on here do too. :lol:
For now, i think i'm just going to get it fully functional, and running smooth. Not sure what else to do with it.

great deal for the money, how many speeds is it?

Rusty- Thanks, It's a 10 speed, with shimano gears.

The rain finally let up, so I took some quick pictures-

full Weinmann brakes

Shimano EM thumb shifters

the middle of the code is unreadable.
