Yes, the Romulus that I bought about 20 years ago came with Araya RC-540
rims.

Rams shipped as completes with non machined Arraya rims. Grant touted them
as longer lasting due to thicker wall material than machined.

On my Ram, when I owned it, Open Pros + Ultegra 7 or 8-speed era hubs,
until I swapped in a SP in the front. Yes, very nice rims and the wheelset
did fit well with the Ram's design and intended use.

I scored a set of Mavic Open Pro rims for free when buying another wheelset
on Craigslist. The guy just threw them in.
I built them up with some Ultegra 6500 hubs and it's a strong,

I'll second the RC-540 use, in fact I have an early Riv wheelset with

Yup back in the early oughts.

I replied to Andrew when I meant to reply to the group. In Riv catalog
number 3 from summer 1997, they sold one rim, the MA2 for $34.

Thanks for the intel. Good ol' Sheldon Brown mentions using Araya RC-540's
on his Ram and wouldn't ya know it I found some in stock. Good to know.

Andrew, I am not sure what Rivendell suggested but on my early Riv 700c
