About this product
The 1976 Ross Grand Prix Road Bike is a vintage 52cm (Small) steel-framed road bicycle. It features a purple finish, 27-inch clincher tires, and a 10-speed Shimano derailleur gear system with down tube shifters. Equipped with side-pull caliper brakes and drop handlebars, it comes with fenders and a kickstand. Manufactured in Japan, this model has no suspension and is designed for men, weighing 38 lbs.
Our take
This 1976 Ross Grand Prix is a charming piece of cycling history, offering a genuine vintage road bike experience. The steel frame is classic, and the 52cm size, while small, would suit certain riders. The 10-speed Shimano setup with down tube shifters is period-correct and offers a direct, mechanical feel. I appreciate the inclusion of fenders and a kickstand, which add to its practicality for city or light touring. However, it's important to note the 38 lbs weight, which is quite heavy by modern standards, and the 27-inch wheel size is less common now. The side-pull caliper brakes are also characteristic of its era.
