The Romulus was the bike that hooked me into the Rivendell world. In 2003 or
'04 I walked into Pegasus Bike shop in Danville, CA and saw this bike. At the
time I was looking for a replacement for my 1983 Miyata 6-10. The Romulus was
stunning and perfect. I went up to Walnut Creek and bough
Funny you mention this. While I haven't experienced any creaking I did
notice I have play with my bagman where the supports enter the piece
that attaches to the saddle. I did try and tighten these up but they
appear to be tightened up already. I do think Dave C. offers good
advice for dealing with
Thanks, Ryan! I've been battling the VO Model 6 saddle for a year and
a half now. I've tried it out on other bikes, and now the Quickbeam.
The saddle is modeled after the Brooks Swallow, so a more aggressive
bar-to-saddle drop ought to help. Initially, I had it set up on a bike
where the bars were
Like Dave, a Romulus was my first Riv.

I expected the custom to be a fancier Romulus. I was amazed to find

I've used several Bagmen and have not had this problem; I did have the
problem of the support slipping out on the move, which I fixed by notching
the ends of the support where they met the set screws, then loctiting the
set screws in place.

hi folks,
i loved riding my first century recently, on a Sam Hillborne, but it was a
pretty slow (though mostly comfortable) push. so the way i have it set up it's
excellent for city commuting and loaded touring / randonneuring, but still
think i want a gofast for club/training rides, built up
If you like your Sam, you may be able to get the extra boost you want
for cheap with an event wheel set. You do not say what you are using
currently, but if it is optimal for commuting, it is a probably
heavier with wider tires.
Get your favorite hubsets in 32h configuration, match them to a set
Seems to me that the Sam would be just fine for both, unless you have
a heavy rack/heavy tires on it.
I wanted a fast-ish, stripped-down skinny tire bike and found an old
Trek on Craiglist for $120. Lots of great deals out there for nice
old steel bikes.

I would recommend some lighter, and more importantly, far more aero
wheels. In this day and age, such wheels, with, for example, 24 spokes
front and rear, are totally bomber if you buy from a reputable brand.
I have ridden piles of miles on such wheels in the dirt, without a
hitch. Cyclocross racer
Someone find Franklyn's old 57 Rom for me...why'd I pass that up
again?

Not my bike, no relation to seller.
Price is a little high for a used frame and fork IMHO, but given the rarity
it almost seems appropriate.
Great yellow color.
My size, very tempting. Someone buy it so I don't.
No link, Tiny URL didn't want to cooperate. Easy to find on ebay.

someone else is selling. If you ride a smaller frame, there's some good
pickings at the moment!

i'm using Mavic rims with 36h XT hubs front and rear, with 40mm Schwalbe Mara

a lighter 32h wheelest/tires for event rides is an extremely good idea. and
