I'm with you -- I think that would look really nice. Besides, the
decal will be on top of the clearcoat, so it's no problem if you
change your mind. I say go for it!

Sharp bike! Canti Roms are prized for their fender-able clearance. I
have 28mm, 32mm, and 35mm Paselas that I switch out on the Romulus. I
run the 28s with fenders, and the 35s just proved their mettle off
road in Chino Hills with David and And, and I've been riding them on
my roadie route on
My brother and I did a little errand ride on our Rivendell road bikes
on Christmas Eve. He was on his Road Standard, running 23mm
Continental Grand Prix 4000s and I on the Romulus with 35mm Paselas.
His Road is set-up very light, and the Romulus is nearing its heaviest
but most trail-worthy
Hope you all had a great holiday and managed to get a ride in, as
well. Looking forward to reading the ride reports of others,
especially with new Christmas loot! Here's my report:
I rode my Canti-Rom from my home in San Francisco to my oldest son's
home in San Mateo for family Christmas
I had some cool pins (this one is Assoc of Caffienated Wheelmen) on
the lil loafter but the backs kept coming off with Road vibration
resulting in the pin dropping off the bike so its unadorned right
now. Anyone have suggestions for this problem?

After having taken a couple of rides on and off-road with my Bombadil, and
after seeing many pictures of Bombadil and Atlantis bikes with sprung
saddles, I've begun wondering if putting a Champion Flyer saddle on the
Bombadil is a good move. Obviously on the road the B-17 feels fine, but
off-road
I have a Champion Flyer on my commuter. I doubt I'd buy another one.
While you can still attach a large saddle bag to the saddle, because
of the springs you can't attach a smaller bag such as a Barley or XS
Sackville. It's also very heavy. I find B-17s to be pretty darn comfy
without the springs.
I have one for sale if you or anyone else is interested... $60 + shipping to
find out if it works for you!!! What a bargain!
I find the springs are nice and take a little bit of the edge off, but the
tops are too soft for my taste (different leather than B17???).

bars to give me the most variety of position possible, and the
