Trying this again because my earlier post didn't seem to go through, or something...
I too am running GB Cypres on my Rom with VO fenders and it's working great; highly recommended. But I'm not sure why Esteban says that the Rom should be ridden as the classic road bike that it is. His points about other models from the time doing country bike, big clearance duty makes sense, and frankly I would love to throw down for an AHH and not fiddle with fitting bigger tires on the Rom. But if you look at the geometries of those two bikes, not to mention the certain similarities in the original literature about them being versatile road-ish bikes (or maybe it's not a Riv if it can't be described thus), the two don't seem so different, clearance aside. Am I wrong there? Not to diminish the centrality of clearance in everyone's thinking here, but if the difference is between a 35 on the AHH and a 32 on the Rom, does that warrant a new bike? Or, to reverse the question, what about the AHH makes it less of a brevet bike than the Rom aside from the fact that it *can* run bigger tires?
