Dan, I have been meaning to write a post about some long term riding comparisons I have been making between a Toyo Homer and a Toyo Romulus. I have more to say, but I will keep it simple for the moment - yes, there is a difference. I have a 59 cm Romulus that rides differently, more flexy in a good sense, than the 61 cm Homer. I will add more later, but I believe the Romulus is at my weight -175 pounds - a better ride for light loads and fast rides, and the the Homer is a little more stiff, perhaps an advantage with greater weight loads. I would wager the Sam will be more like the Homer than the Romulus. If you have a 59 cm Romulus, I will buy it from you. I have. side pull Romulus and would like a canti one as well.
