About this product
The 1980 Ross Euro Tour is a vintage touring road bike with a 23-inch (X-Large) lugged steel frame. This blue unisex adult cruiser features a 27-inch wheel size, caliper side-pull brakes, and a 5-speed derailleur gear system operated by a stem shifter. It comes equipped with a cruiser handlebar, fenders, an adjustable seat, and a kickstand, making it suitable for casual riding. Weighing 35 pounds, this bike has no suspension and utilizes clincher tires.
Our take
Stepping back in time with the 1980 Ross Euro Tour, this vintage road bike offers a classic riding experience. The lugged steel frame, a hallmark of its era, suggests durability, though it contributes to the 35-pound weight which is quite hefty by modern standards. The 5-speed gearing and stem shifter are indicative of its vintage design, providing a simpler, albeit less precise, shifting experience compared to contemporary setups. I appreciate the practical features like fenders and a kickstand, which enhance its usability for casual touring or city riding. The cruiser handlebar offers a relaxed upright posture. However, the lack of suspension means you'll feel more of the road, and side-pull caliper brakes are not as powerful as modern disc brakes. This is a bike for enthusiasts of classic bikes, not for speed demons or technical trails.
