Ah, yes... the Ross 290-S, made with Ishiwata triple butted tubing and manufactured from 1983-1988 (check the left crank for the specific date of manufacture) in Taiwan... whattya wanna know about it?

p.s. They were and are excellent "sport touring" bikes, but aren't as noteworthy as the American-made signatures.
