I agree with your points on lighter or thinner tubing, Jim, One thing I have considered, thought, is sending off the romulus and getting a new fork made for it in what would be a decidedly high rake (low trail) bike. Like Rene has done on this list.
I think that would be a better test to see if I'm happier with it or not - independent of tubing and other choices. That's why when I saw this post from soma I was fairly excited http://www.somafab.blogspot.com/2013/05/low-trail-forks.html They will likely only make them for 1-1/8" threadless but I'd think about picking up a cross check or a pacer or a double cross to try that out. Having said that whenever I ride the hilsen or the romulus I'm reminded that it is really super pleasant to ride the way it is and leaving it alone doesn't cost anything, then I think about other things and then I notice a coffee shop and my mind slips to other things altogether. :) -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
