Re: [RBW] FS: Size 61 Canti-Romulus, built in 2006. $850
Hi All, I bought Ray's Canti-Rom and have come to the conclusion that it is just a bit too small. I'd like to offer it for sale for the same amount that I paid - $850 picked up in San Francisco. I'd prefer to sell the bike locally but will consider shipping if need be (at buyer's expense). I will also include the free extras that Ray gave me, including a canvas Baggins Banana Bag, canvas Nigel Smythe Lil Loafer, original Romulus flyer from Riv, and spare Ruffy Tuffy tire (brand new). http://tinyurl.com/q9hf29x The specs on the bike are as follows: 61 cm Canti-Rom frameset (a few scratches, some areas touched up with paint, one tiny ding in top tube) Shimano 105 headset Nitto quill stem 46 cm Nitto Noodle handlebars Shimano 8/9 speed bar end shifters (currently set up on friction mode although I can adjust it to index if you'd like) Shimano brake levers Shimano 105 front derailleur Shimano Deore LX rear derailleur Sugino XD crank - 175 mm arms with 26/36/46 rings Ultegra hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro rims (hand-built by Rich at Hands on Wheels) lightly used Rivendell Ruffy Tuffy tires 700x28 8 speed cassette (11-32) Brooks B17 saddle (black) Nitto S65 seatpost Tektro Oryx brakes Shimano A530 pedals (clipless on one side, platform on the other) Cheers, Eric On Monday, May 4, 2015 at 4:55:23 PM UTC-7, Ray Shine wrote: > > Wow!

Wow! That was fast. It appears that the Canti-Rom will have a new home locally. I am 99% certain, so I am calling it a Sell at this point. Thank you all who expressed an interest.
