I am considering one of these. I am intrigued as I have a bad neck and most road bike geometry just kills me (too streched out, too much "craning" of my neck) Obviously the quality is very high on this bike. I am mostly looking for opinions on comfort and usefullness. I ride 3-4 days/week for fitness/recreation. A long ride for me is 30-50 miles. Thank you for any help!

If Im not mistaken, Bicycling did a review on that bike?
They looked favourably on it. said she was all comfy, handled well, just a tad heavier.

Thanks all. I did the search and read what I could find. Talked to Rivendell today. They are sold out of the Romulus and are not making any more:( If anyone knows of a 63 cm for sale let me know.

I know of only one for sale, and its a 55. I think you might have to wait for a Rambouillet.
