Tom Kellogg says on his website:

"November, 1980 - June, 1982 - Tom sets up the legendary "Signature" department at Ross Bicycles and develops the Ross Signature line. After a motorcycle accident, Tom leaves Ross Bicycles and founds Spectrum Cycles. Tom hires Ross Bicycles Master Builder Jeff Duser away from the Signature Division of Ross in March, '85."

My Redcay built touring bike is from 1982. So that's a few more data points Lou.

> My Used Bike Buyers Guide notes show that Ross issued a "Signature" bicycle in at least the following years: I suspect the missing years and pre-82 may have existed as well:
>
> Signature Road and Criterium in 1982---Columbus tubing
> Signature Triad in 1984-85---Columbus tubing
> Signature in 1988
> Signature Pro in 1994
> Signature Triad in 1994---Tange tubing
