Esteban's Romulus is one of my favorites. the photo of it against a darker blue
painted wall is in fact a wallpaper in my Webshots rotation. My Riv Road is
about the same blue (you know, the early light blue that they came in) and this
morning, I took it on a 40 mile ride at 32F over coarse and hilly rural roads.
The MaxyFastys (33.4 mm) made the bike truly a dream to ride over rough
roads.My aluminum framed companions were not quite so happy with their own
mounts. The bike is converted to 650B which is how I can use them, and going
that route is another option in the "evolution" of road bike thinking. It will
take fatter tires still, should I want them. If I wanted to race the bike (zero
chance of that, as anyone who has ridden with me can attest) I'd put on 32 mm
Cypres at max pressure, or possibly the upcoming 38 mm Pari-Moto tire from
Pascenti. (yes, it is supposed to be a fast fat tire)

Subject: [RBW] The Evolution of Riv Road Bike Versatility
I sometimes consider proposing a trade, but it is nice to have the
ability to run those 35s!
Seems like the Roadeo is the logical next step in the evolution in
Rivendell's "road" bike thinking - and a nice way to split the
difference between the Riv Road and Rom/Rams.
