I just read Dave's comments on the Smart Sam's. So if your riding a 58 cm
or larger Atlantis then you need to go with the 45's as I read it the 26"
Atlantis's can take the 2.1"/55 mm tire of course with out no fenders.
Still need recommendations on a All rounder slicker tread though.

A friend of mine forwarded me the info and I posted it on my social media
accounts (which I use to circulate info about stolen bikes); no word yet.
It's a long shot, but here are
three listings that show up in the stolenbicycleregistry.com:

Yep, but I feel they don't need to be, I had a 90's era Pinarello Montello
and it was pretty period with a few exceptions and I got an ear full. I
totally appreciate what these guy's do it's fantastic, but I'm just not

My 2001 Rivs are pretty much period correct!

I wonder why a reputable bike shop couldn't sell MCRBs... AND steel

If you are using Romulus as second declension, accusative, that would be
Romulos.

I like the look of the Smart Sam's up on riv's website. Seem to roll well
since the star that runs down along the tire seems to connect from one to
the other for some nice rolling. I'm wondering, does anyone know if an
atlantis would fit the 55s without fenders? I'd rather that over the 45s,

You can only check w/ so many, but I'd suggest checking local LBS's to see if
anyone posted a note about it being stolen, or, perhaps the local counties'

Craigslist, see if someone posts there about it?
Anywho, disregard my QBP comment; I was thinking of the Bleriot... Doh!

Wow! Slip away for a month & come home to find the first bike event of
next year is already scheduled. This will be a fun time. Inland SoCal in
spring is wonderful, as David's photos show. Hope to see some new faces &
out of the area riders on this one.

While more choice of bikes is a good thing ... limiting them to disc brakes
is not. To me this just a way to promote disc brakes for road bikes ...
lol.

Here's a list of some Rom owners:

Hopefully RBW can help, but, since the Rom was sold through QBP, it's gonna

That's enough variety of reviews to tell me that I might like centerpulls
better and I might not. Classic YMMV situation. Haha. Maybe I'll get it
done this weekend.
I overhauled these Gran Compe 610s to familiarize myself with all the
pieces, lube all the pivots, bushings and threads. The
Go with the Albastaches. Much better than the old mustaches. I've had both.
If I had good wrists, I'd still be running the Albastaches. Mustaches only
lasted a week before I went back to drops. :)

I'll echo Patrick's response. I've used centerpulls for specific situations
