I listed this on the Boblist, too, but I know that many people (including myself) usually only read the RBW list. I also know there are many Californians on this list - if any of you in the south are interested in this bike and would like to arrange a local meeting, let me know, please.
Rivendell Romulus bicycle or frameset for sale. Frameset is $750, or complete bike is $1100. This bike has seen minimal miles, has a few cosmetic blemishes. I guess it has been ridden somewhere between 400-600 miles total. I live in the San Gabriel mountains in Southern California, and I would be happy to arrange for a local to see and ride the bike. Some pictures are at http://picasaweb.google.com/david.charles.carroll/RomulusForSale# Payment with Paypal is preferred, unless I make a local sale, and then cash is fine, as well. Frame is a 59 cm C-T purchased from Rivendell in 2005 It is built with the stock Romulus/Rivendell kit, including: Nitto Frog seatpost Nitto Technomic Deluxe (7 cm - it's shorter, because my wife needed a shorter cockpit) Nitto Noodle 46 cm handlebar. She wrapped it with cotton tape and hemp twine, and shellacked it an amber color. Shimano 105 hubs, derailers and headset. Shimano Dura-Ace 9-speed bar-end shifters. Shimano R-400 brake levers and 57 mm A-550 long-reach calipers. Sugino XD triple crankset 48-36-26. 12-13-14-15-17-19-21-23-25 cassette. Araya RC-540 rims with Panasonic/Rivendell Ruffy-Tuffy tires. The tires have most of their life still ahead of them. 2 mm stainless steel spokes, 32 front, 36 rear. Additionally, I would be happy to include the 45mm SKS black fenders if you buy the complete bike. I took them off of her bike, because the room was a bit tight in the stock brakes. If you decide to buy the frameset only, I will sell them for $10. They are in fine condition, and depending on your brakes, they will fit around a 35 mm tire or narrower. I am not selling the saddle in the picture. NOTE: One of the dropouts on the fork was bent a little when I removed the bike from a roof rack. It doesn't affect the alignment of the hub/wheel, but I have to loosen the quick release nut further out. Easily repairable, doesn't affect the ride, but I don't want anyone to be surprised by this. The reasons we are selling this bike/frame are twofold: 1. It was a long reach for her, because she has long legs but a shorter torso and shorter reach than many men who ride a 59 cm Rivendell frame. 2. We bought a surfboard and wetsuits, and something has to go to fund it.
