1987 Moore & Large imported Ross, not Ross

I had an Emmelle Cortina as my first mtb. Had Suntour front and Shimano rear, alloy rims, waaaay to big. Raced in Avimour at the Carlsberg WC. Missed timed a jump over a stream and landed so hard I flew over the top and ovalised the head tube. Let me tell you cow shit tastes worse than it smells. Good times…
 
I had a Ford Cortina






Guess what colour?

Emmelle/Ross: doesn't that make this an Eros, after the Greek god of love? Perhaps not cycling exotica but a rare case of cycling erotica, so to speak.
