[RBW] Romulus death shake
Does anyone else get the frame wobble at high speeds on smooth surfaces with their Romulus? I only get it if I try to go no hands. And even the smallest amount of pressure on one of the grips will stop it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Romulus rear derailleur hanger
It sounds like somebody stripped the original threaded hole, then installed something in it to screw the derailer into. Definitely a repair. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Romulus rear derailleur hanger
I am trying to get my red, S&S coupler-equipped Romulus on the road again. I have posted here before, looking for decals for it, (no luck). The problem is that the chain hits the derailleur hanger when it is on the smallest cog. (9 speed). I looked at it and there is a metal, hex head bushing installed in the hanger with the hex inboard. The derailleur is screwed into this bushing. Is this the standard set up for a Romulus or is this a repair? The hanger is straight and the drop outs are aligned. Thanks for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Romulus refurbished as 650b
I blame Tony DeFilippo; he emailed me and several other area Rivendell aficionados last June about a Romulus frameset that his Bike co-op had for sale. The size was either a 59 or 61, and the frame was in rough shape. Rust had pitted the frame in several places. Not being in the market for another bike, I thanked Tony but denied interest. However, I couldn't get the forlorn looking Romulus out of my mind. The words forlorn and Romulus do not belong together! After contacting the co-op manager, I went to see the bike and, of course, bought it! I will digress and divulge that I own two dogs both of whom we adopted from a dog rescue program at a prison. Not being in the market for a bike, I wondered what to do with the rescued Romulus. The rust concerned me; I sanded down the egregious cancers and called Keven at RBW. We talked through the merits and philosophy of beausage. I like beausage but prefer to be the one who inflicts the wounds. Keven kindly told me whatever I did to safeguard the headbadge as those were irreplaceable now. Slowly I formed a plan to resurrect the Romulus as a 650b commuter. (I had recently unconverted my Riv Road Standard back to 700c. ). I delivered the Romulus to a local automotive body shop for powdercoating in Ford Blue. I feel Romulus would have driven a Ford! I then hand painted the head tube in a cream and reapplied the badge and the new decals Keven sent. If you've read this far you deserve some photos of the project from start to finish: https://flickr.com/photos/86975051@N08/sets/72157654006187120 After a long ride today I am smitten; I am not sure smitten and Romulus go together either. It's a bromance! I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoy the ride! Of course now I have n+1 too many bikes... Thanks for all the inspiration and know-how so generously provided by so many in this group! And thanks Tony! I owe you...

[RBW] romulus question
What's the inside diameter of the head tube on a romulus? and the fork crown? I will need to get a headset for a rom soonish and i couldn't find this information anywhere on the rbw site or cyclofiend's. I can just measure it, but I'd really like to know. -sv --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] romulus on rivbike.com
There's a complete new romulus for sale on rivbike.com - I didn't know there were any "new" romuluses left. http://www.rivbike.com//#product=50-310 Seems like a pretty good deal for a new romulus to me. -sv --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Romulus in Minneapolis?
Noticed a Romulus both on my way into work and on the way home yesterday. In the afternoon the owner was riding along old Main. Anyone on this list? Just haven't seen that one before. I'm the person who said "nice Romulus" while driving by in the morning.

[RBW] Romulus rack suggestions
Soon I'll be doing a week long tour on a 57cm Romulus. I'm trying to decide which racks (and panniers) to go for. I haven't calculated how much weight I'll be carrying, but it'll probably be no more than 30 pounds in back (in panniers; tent, food, clothes, toiletries) and sleeping bag / misc. in the front? I'm guessing the Romulus is not intended for heavy front loads, but I could be wrong. I'm leaning towards a Mark's Rack or VO Randonneur in front and a Tubus Luna in back (I dig the Luna's minimal design). Or possibly a Tubus Cosmo or a Nitto Big Back Rack? What would you suggest?

[RBW] Romulus at #660
Hey there - Just finished an update to the Current Classics Gallery tonight, and it just so happened that the final entry was Neil's really well photographed Rivendell Romulus - http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2009/cc660-neildoshi0509.html Been a tricky and difficult month for updates and mileage - Enjoy! http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc - Jim (Got a bunch in the queue - including some of the new Riv steel - and but I'm finally seeing some gaps in the schedule...!) -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "The bike between her legs was like some hyper-evolved alien tail she'd somehow extruded, as though over patient centuries; a sweet and intricate bone-machine, grown Lexan-armored tires, near-frictionless bearings, and gas filled shocks."

[RBW] Romulus sighting near Mountain View, CA
I'd just gotten off the early flight from Seattle, headed to my office in Mountain View, getting off 101 onto Moffett Blvd. and saw a fella on a fenderless Rom. Can I put a name with a face? Also, Seattle is filled with Rivendells and other nice steel bikes (as always).
