[RBW] Re: my first Rivendell -- a 61cm Romulus

FYI I have the exact same bike. When I bought it, it had albatross bars on it and it also came with a set of drops. I left the albatross on there and they are working out just great. I can ride very upright and I have zero neck pain now thanks for that. I even did a century last October on it.

Can someone explain to me how the presale works? I can't find any actual explanation on it on the website. You pay upfront, right? And then just wait for the frame to come in? Or is it like a lottery type situation? I'm confused. Thanks in advance -- You received this message because you are su

After managing to squeeze 38 mm on my Romulus I had to give up on the dream of having meaty tires and fenders. At the very least I would like to protect the drivetrain and feel like an enclosed chain guard may be an option. Can anyone point me In right direction? Thanks bunches -- You receive
