 I have been wanting to post for weeks asking about builds to come. 
 Hopefully they make it to port today and we will be seeing them soon! I 
 had 
 a pretty mellow Riv style build planned. While waiting, I’ve collected 
 some 
 other options as well. Can’t wait to put it together! 
 I’m sure everyone else waiting for one is as excited as I am. I look 
 forward to seeing some great builds!

[RBW] Re: my first Rivendell -- a 61cm Romulus

[Rick Urbanowski]

FYI I have the exact same bike. When I bought it, it had albatross bars on 
it and it also came with a set of drops. I left the albatross on there and 
they are working out just great. I can ride very upright and I have zero 
neck pain now thanks for that. I even did a century last October on it. 
Just a thought.

[RBW] Presale?

[Rick Urbanowski]

Can someone explain to me how the presale works? I can't find any actual 
explanation on it on the website.
You pay upfront, right? And then just wait for the frame to come in? Or is 
it like a lottery type situation? I'm confused.
Thanks in advance

I was able to ride my bike to the expo on Sunday and I was a little

surprised mandatory vaccination cards weren’t in affect. Maybe there 
would’ve been a larger turn out and everyone would’ve been more comfortable?

[RBW] Chain mud guard for Romulus

[Rick Urbanowski]

After managing to squeeze 38 mm on my Romulus I had to give up on the dream 
of having meaty tires and fenders.
At the very least I would like to protect the drivetrain and feel like an 
enclosed chain guard may be an option. Can anyone point me In right 
direction?
Thanks bunches

[RBW] Re: PayPal now taxing goods & services transactions >$600

[Rick Urbanowski]

I’m pretty sure you can just provide your Social Security number, which 
PayPal already has. So that shouldn’t be a problem. Other than that, just 
sucking it up and paying taxes that you owe isn’t the end of the world.

I bet we are related in someway.
I will often here older Polish people pronounce my last name that way.
On the other hand, I am Polish and maybe I’ve just been spelling it wrong all

Good eye there Bill.
The ones that are on there right now stop fairly well in the rain, but not 
what I would call great. I was hoping for great. 
Maybe I'll try sanding these down a little bit and see if they get any 
better results before I put a new pair on. 
Thanks for the heads up! Lol 🥬

[RBW] Re: Front rack for Romulus?

[Rick Urbanowski]

I like what you're laying down here
I might just get bold and start tinkering here. Thanks for the motivation!

 Indeed, a fendered 650B conversion should work fine on that bike. Two 
 caveats: 1. Rivs already have a low BB so the smaller wheel size could be 
 a 
 pedal-strike issue if you tend to pedal through turns. 2. Long-reach 
 calipers like the Tektro R559 Riv sells won't work because that frame was 
 already designed for mid-reach. You'll probably need a center-pull like 
 Paul Racers or Dia-Compes. The added fun for this plan is you'll need 
 brake 
 hangers at the headset and seat lug (Riv sells them). 

 In summary: Romulus is a great lightish-loads road bike that can take 
 decently cushy tires, fenders and a small front rack, but you can go to a 
 lot of time and trouble trying to make it something it really wasn't meant 
 to be. There's other Rivs that might work better for what you're looking 
 for. In my opinion!*

 Ruffy Tuffys, you have single eyelets front and rear for them. My Rom 
 brochure claims you can do it with tires as big as 35mm, but I suspect 
 this 
 is 2003 information when 700 x 35 Paselas were really more like 32. 

 The front rack is where things get sticky. I used a Mark's Rack 
 with the center-mount tongue behind the caliper brake* and clamps at 
 mid-fork for the struts. Nobody likes using those fiddly clamps but 
 they 
 work fine. Alternatively you can try a long bolt and spacer at the 
 fender 
 eyelet on the dropout for longer rack struts. The eyelet is behind the 
 fork 
 blade so you'll need to set it up so the strut is spaced away from the 
 blade. It's doable! 

 *If you have a canti-Rom you have options for racks that mount at 
 the brake bolts.
