Thank you. It's kind of a four decade anachronism. A 1980s build concept and tire clearances. 1990s stem and 3x8 drivetrain. 2000s frame set. 2010s wheel set and handlebar. 2020s front rack and bag. Timeless 1950s - 1960s metal fenders, retro-copy rear rack and saddle. I'm going to

That rear rack is in fact the perfect one. I think the Salsa Stem is actually my favorite part of the whole build. Crushed it Bill! On Thursday, May 16, 2024 at 10:35:06 AM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > Rear rack in place now on my Romulus. It's a full on "sport touring" > build now. > >

@Chester, I have always wanted to ride up Montebello Road and explore, when I lived in Mountain View, California. Unfortunately, the road was gated and closed to the public back in the 1970's. I am very glad to see that the area is a natural preserve now for the public to access and enjoy

Thanks for the kind words everyone! *@Leah* - I feel like evntually I'll switch the v-brakes. Right now that will require a rack change, and I love the F32 front as it's all brazed and very lightweight. I also utilize a Nitto NR-21 rear rack for a saddle bar support for the longer day
