I had two Romulus--the first one a 59cm side-pull (http:// www.flickr.com/photos/franklyn/sets/72157600050554321/) that was just a tad too big for me (so I thought at the time, but my idea of fitting has changed since, and the second one a 57cm (http://www.flickr.com/ photos/franklyn/sets/72157603538257284/) that I bought used to replace the 59cm. I ended up selling the 57cm Romulus last year to fund a custom bike. I like the Romulus a lot as a all-round road bike. I also prefer the appearance over its fancier cousins. My taste has trended toward simple--thus my current choice of Ebisu.
If I have the space and extra cash, i would have kept my Romulus. Franklyn On Dec 3, 8:11 am, Cycletex <clifwrightpho...@yahoo.com> wrote: > I agree Seth. I really like my Quickbeam lugs.
