If anyone can help facilitate that Lobster please shoot me a pm

Lobster custom built for seller. Must have requested the slammed saddle look as an extra.

The first time I ever went mtn biking, one guy showed up on an old chrome Ross. He had borrowed it for the ride, his first time as well, and we adjusted the seat for him before heading out but the QR bolt snapped. We had some vise grips in the car so put them on the seat clamp and he rode it the whole day, never slipped.

Oh geez, anyone able to facilitate on this?

I see polished Paul cantis and WI hubs, nitto tall stem and swept back bars, front rack, white cabling, tan wall tires. That's just me though.

I had one of those road Lobsters. They are sweet riding bikes -- very smooth. Max tire size was only 28mm and other bikes I have rode equally good with 32s, so I let it go. Paul Sadoff's designs have come a ways since this bike.

That Ross looks like a Patton tank.

I’m voting:
Paul brakes
White industries cranks
Phil hubs
Nitto bullmoose bars
1x11 with a 5100 rear derailleur and microshift thumbie

Oh, and I may go all black parts so the frameset stands out. Tan tires would be required.maybe vans grips to match.

Pretty cool Merckx banner! The seller says it was hung on the wall of pro track races

Let's find a facilitator so I can agonize over the choices! :banana:

That flooring is insane! Not for the faint of heart - I love it.

That's a pretty darn good price for a solid cross/gravel bike!

Glad it's on the wrong side of the country...

Here is another chromed Ross in an 18" size:
