Wondering what people who have experience with both the early Hillbornes
with cantis and the Romulus think about the two in terms of overall
impression -- is one "speedier" than the other, or is one stiffer, etc,
those kinds of things. I get that the Hillborne is a tad longer wheelbase

these are a great color. I've got one that shares time with my BMC
monstercross. Really a nice, light, fast bike and it seems like everyone
who sees it comments on the color. I run 38 Gravel Kings that are wonderful
tires.

Another thumbs up for the Gravel King 38 slicks. Have a pair on my
canti-Rom and they are really fast and comfy smooth at 35-40 psi,
super-great tires. I've not ridden any RH tires and they may be even
better but these are so nice I have no desire to spend the money to find
out.

Not on a Roadini, but I can squeeze 38 gravel king slicks in my canti-Rom
and those tires are amazing. Never ridden anything so fast and smooth. I
go about 50-55 psi on mine, and weigh in the mid-220s, and they feel
perfect.
If you can fit 38s go for it.

A friend of mine got his fatbike painted by a body shop and it is really
nice. I for one will never again ship a bike to a painter; last (and only)
time I did that I sent my prized machine off and they destroyed the fork
which was a key part of what made the bike special. They did replace the
I should add, I am interested in just buying a first gen Hillborne f/f/hs
if you have one you’re willing to part with and don’t want my Rom. Thanks,

Not sure the moderator(s) will let this through; most of my infrequent
posts are on the iBOB list. But if they do here's the deal: I am tall with
pretty short legs (I broke Trek's "what size frame should I get" app when I
entered my dimensions) and I've always wanted a bike in the 60-62 seat tub
The grilver color never looked that good to me but that Clem H looks
GREAT. Makes me want one!

In order, no longer own any of them so take this with a grain of salt.
1. Quickbeam. Green 62. By far the one I wish I still had.
2. Redwood. Green 65. Very nice road traditional road bike but I'm not that
interested in this type of bike anymore. One of my all-time favorite
colors, for bikes or
