My new Romulus (by Rivendell)
I just bought a Romulus road bike from Rivendell.
The Romulus is hand-made to Rivendell's specification in Japan and sold as a complete bike.
Rivendell's sizing system, based on pubic-bone height, really worked for me. I normally ride a 58cm frame. Rivendell put me on a 61, and it's great.
The frame is lugged steel but is surprisingly lightweight. The best feature is the high handlebar position made possible by the large frame size. I rode 60 miles today, and I usually ride only 10. The Brooks saddle helped, too.
I took this photo on the Longleaf Trace here in south-central Mississippi. That's where I rode as part of the Trace's "birthday" celebration.
