Why purchase a Ross bike?

Many people will purchase a vintage Ross bike because one that is 40 or even 50 years old will likely still be in great condition. Many times, only a few minor upgrades are needed before they can be used as daily transportation. Others are impressed that the Ross Eurotour women's bike value hasn't changed much over the years. These individuals may want to sell their bike and are hoping to recoup as much of their initial investment as possible.

What to look for in a Ross bicycle

Ross bicycles should have working brakes and a body that is generally free from rust or other damage. Look for Ross bikes that have the original seat intact without any cracking or peeling. A working kickstand will keep your bike from toppling over when you are parking it. When choosing a Ross 10-speed bicycle, ensure that the hand brakes are easy to grip and that the gears shift up and down easily.

Choosing different styles of Ross bikes

During their heyday, Ross was well-known for its mountain bikes. Accordingly, you will find a number of vintage mountain bikes available for sale on eBay. These are a great choice if you plan to ride on rugged terrain such as mountain biking trails. A Ross 10-speed bike might be a better choice if you plan to ride on highways or streets with varying elevations. Choose a standard bike if you are a casual rider or only plan on using your bicycle under ordinary conditions.

What size vintage Ross bike is best?

Ross bikes come in sizes ranging from 20 to 26 inches. A smaller bicycle that is 20 or 22 inches might be best for a teenager or smaller adult. Taller adults would do better with a 24- or 26-inch model. You can consider the bicycle a perfect fit if you are able to sit on the seat and place both feet solidly on the ground. When doing so, your knees should not come in contact with the handlebars, and you should also not have to hunch over in order to reach them.
