[RBW] Re: Any weight difference in Romulus/Rambouillet?
I would expect that the Romulus used more rigid seat stays and front fork to support the canti brakes. Maybe a couple of oz.

Maybe a couple of oz. The original Romulus did not have canti brakes. Yeah, the Canti-Rom was an accident--miscommunication between Riv and the builder. Going by memory, the Rom was intended as a less expensive version of the Rambouillet. One color paint, slightly cheaper stays. (not heat treated? single-butted? Not tapered? Some small difference like that) I can't recall if maybe it had a slightly cheaper tubeset, too, but it was a very similar frame and only weighed a tiny bit more than the Rambouillet...

There were some minor differences in joinery and dropouts, but they were pretty much the same frame with some simpler paint. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/romulus - Jim / Cyclofiend.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The much longer name : Rambouillet, means a much heavier decal, negating a significant part of the weight savings.

Re: [RBW] Re: Any weight difference in Romulus/Rambouillet?
Yes, but after taking kerning into account, the difference is much less.
