    For pics, type in "Speed Ross" on this website: http://images.google.com

  3. Peter Ross started making the Speed back in 1990, I believe. I saw him race at the 1991 IHPVA
    Championships in Milwaukee. The Speed was produced over the years by several different makers. It
    was way ahead of its time. Many newer bikes owe much of their design to the Speed Ross.

  4. Peter Ross retired after a number of years developing both the Trice and the Speed Ross.

    For a while Orbit cyces manafactured the bike under the "Crystal" name, and there are a few around in t he for sale pages in cycle magazines.

    Unfortunately as Peter retired and sold the Trice to Inspired Cycle Engineering, the Speed Ross was being superceded by the low racers and semi-low racers such as the Challenge Hurricane and I presume was therefore not a really viable proposition for ICE.

    As I have posted elsehwere, I do believe that Ben Cooper at Kinetics in Glasgow (www.kinetics-online.co.uk) has the patents and jigs for the speed ross, whic though it has not got the suspension of the Street Machine, is still a god basic touring machine for light and fast touring.

    Pics are available on the Oliver Zechlin HPV disc,or Ben may have some.
