I saw a Romulus at a Kiwanis bike ride in Southern Illinois this past 
weekend, I was on my Sam Hillborne.  Of course we talked a little about 
bikes.  That Rom was way, way cool. I had my bike stripped down with no 
bags or racks because I wanted to try and ride a bit quicker and lighter, 
which I did. I had a great ride. I was also trying out some new tires 
650bx32 Hutchinsons from Compass cycles which performed very well. The 
Romulus owner had a couple of racks and a nice dyno front wheel and 
lighting setup, plus what looked like a stuffed tiger tied on his 
handlebars.  Very cool bike.  I wish I got his name.
