1971 eliminator????

[Hitman44]

a local guy was nice enough to give me his childhood bike. It has been ridden hard but I think I can maybe save it. It was welded in a couple of places but perhaps I can grind it down and put some paint on? Or do you think it is a repaint only?

That is a Ross bike. The frame looks like it was welded wrong. The fork is at the wrong angle. Nice one to make a custom from.

 

[Hitman44]

So it is a Ross rail then?

 

[deorman]

Yeah, looks like someone cooked it really bad with an old style stick welder. I'd consider that a candidate for a cut and re-weld project. Does look like a Ross, Murray dropout points and seat clamp are a little different.

It looks a lot like an apollo but the bottom bar is round and not flat ...

I think they were called a Ross Banshee. Not 100% on that though.

Yup. 1971 Ross Banshee 3
