Soooo...

I presumed it was an Araya frame going by previous bikes I've owned/ seen with Emmelle decals over the top of the original Araya

Given the evidence that its now quite obviously a Ross - was it imported by Moore & Large from Ross in very limited numbers to get in on the explosive MTB scene or did Ross outsource their frames to another manufacturer?

As for the build - As much as I would like to go full Suntour, its already getting expensive and as I may have to retire a much loved elderly frame, this may take over its duties.

I like it. Paint it black

Rebrand it (Everyone else has), call it a Rosselle (because I'm using the word portmantau as much as possible this week).
