Romic Track Frame

Started building my first track/ss bike. I got lucky last week when a guy that bought some of my old Campy stuff that I had lying around traded me this frame along with a Campy Record Pista crankset and BB for another old frame I had. I love these old Romic rides. I guess it's the Houston connection

Nice deal! I've come close to pulling the trigger on a Romic a few times. That must've been one nice frame that you traded!

H-Town represent. Nice Romic track bike! There is a cool Romic track frame hanging up in Boone's.
Also, have you checked out this site? You should add to the database!

Hello all,
Nice Romic for sure.
I put up a site a while back on Romics - and would love to have you contribute pictures of your bike when it's built.
I have a lot of track bike examples that I've yet to post - Romics had a great history in velo racing during the 80's - and have some nice pics to add.
[I just noticed Kirke also mentioned this... thx !]
Check out the pages at:

Take care
Rich

Hello Rich you have my blue Romic on your website, I'll send you some pics once it's finished. I only wish I would have never sold the blue one.
