That was the word directly from the source at the time the canti-Rom came out. It was the result of a miscommunication between Rivendell and Toyo, and Grant foresaw that the "mistake" would end up being a really nice frame, so he decided to follow through on the order, ending up with a frame that is the Rom in all ways except for brake style. The canti brake allows for easier big tires and fenders, and as a result, many argue that the canti-Rom ended up being one of the top Rivendells ever.
I think it is so cool that it exists and is a rare breed. Others have since come along to match its function. -Jim W.
