No capability for photos,sorry.Paint has been stripped down to bare steel and no graphics.All I can say is that it appears to have come with a complete Shimano 600 setup.Headset topnut says Ross Professional. Downtube shifters.It is pretty heavy.Anyone's guess as to what it is.I put an old cyclone rear and titleist front derailler on it and some weinman 605 brakes.Dropbars I always remove.Seems like a good old bike.Thanx for responses.600 gear went on something else

Maybe a Ross Professional, or a Signature, although Signatures were pretty light. Well made bicycles on the top end, lower mid level stuff for everything else. Alan Ross pioneered a method of joining bike tubes.

They were also involved in mountain biking from early on, and I believe also had a Campagnolo specced bike.
