Do anybody know where can I find old "Speed Ross" Recumbent photos, specifications, details, etc? There's a couple of sources I can suggest. Orbit Cycles (see http://www.orbit-cycles.co.uk made the S-R under license as the Orbit Crystal for some while, so I imagine they can tell you the basic details fairly well (for a pic of a Crystal, there's one at http://www.personal.dundee.ac.uk/~pjclinch/cycling.htm). Eventually, Ben Cooper at Kinetics (http://kinetics.org.uk) bought the rights and bits to make the bikes, but eventually concluded that the sort of cost they'd come in at wouldn't be competitive with various continental speed machines, so I don't think he ever made any. But he can almost certainly tell you exactly what the specs and details were. Mine was a Crystal rather than a "genuine" Ross, but the basics should be the same. Quite light, mesh seat, 700c rear and 20" front, boom length adjusted for different rider sizes. No suspension, overseat steering (as you'll see in that picture, not a tiller) and they were good at Going Quite Fast. A speedbag was available from Peter Ross, and various examples sport them.

The main thing I am going to ask him, once I am done swearing at him, is what the f*** is a medical physics IT officer. Can you imagine the ego of this nut and screwball who wants all the world to know what the f*** it is that he does to gain an income. Why can't others be humble and modest like me. I believe he posts this nonsense just to irritate me. I am going to have my estate sue him for damages if and when I keel over with a heart attack as a result of his outrages.

I've got a pdf of the 2002 brochure/specification, and somewhere, a paper copy of the 1998 spec, several photos of my own 1998 bike too. I do know of at least three older Rosses locally, so photos are them are feasible. Is your "Reply-to:" a real address? Mike |
