For the last year that I had my Romulus it wore Jack Brown greens and Textro 'wide mouth' brakes.
I weigh 190 lbs and the wider tires are great on our less than ideal roads. When I got my Riv custom my friend Brian bought the Romulus and he is riding 'fat' tires on it too. The custom wears most Jack Browns most all the time. When Rivendell suggested that we 'get more air' I took them at their word. If our roads were smoother I might go to 28's but the fatter tires seem about right to me. -JimD On Aug 31, 2009, at 11:49 AM, Esteban wrote: > > Its interesting to re-read this thread and think about how Grant's > designs are so versatile.
