I'm waiting on delivery of a new to me 56 cm Atlantis and have been
wondering what tire to go with? First I'm looking for an all round mixed
terrain tire that has plenty of cushion and rolls fairly well. I've liked
the idea of running the Big Ben's as Schwalbe states they have a bit more
tread

I'll echo Patrick's response. I've used centerpulls for specific situations
(like needing cheap longer reach for a 650b conversion, or needing a nutted
front brake) but they aren't any better at stopping than a good single or dual
pivot sidepull. I've used various Weinman, Mafac,

Go with the Albastaches. Much better than the old mustaches. I've had both.
If I had good wrists, I'd still be running the Albastaches. Mustaches only
lasted a week before I went back to drops. :)

That's enough variety of reviews to tell me that I might like centerpulls
better and I might not. Classic YMMV situation. Haha. Maybe I'll get it
done this weekend.
I overhauled these Gran Compe 610s to familiarize myself with all the
pieces, lube all the pivots, bushings and threads. The

Good luck!
Here's a list of some Rom owners:

Wow! Slip away for a month & come home to find the first bike event of
next year is already scheduled. This will be a fun time. Inland SoCal in
spring is wonderful, as David's photos show. Hope to see some new faces &

You can only check w/ so many, but I'd suggest checking local LBS's to see if
anyone posted a note about it being stolen, or, perhaps the local counties'
sheriffs?
Craigslist, see if someone posts there about it?
Anywho, disregard my QBP comment; I was thinking of the Bleriot... Doh!

I bet there aren't many bike shops in Sacramento that sold Romuluses.
Maybe a check with them?

I like the look of the Smart Sam's up on riv's website. Seem to roll well
since the star that runs down along the tire seems to connect from one to
the other for some nice rolling. I'm wondering, does anyone know if an
atlantis would fit the 55s without fenders? I'd rather that over the 45s,

I think I'm in the camp with Mike S. If it provides more tire options it's
a wonderful thing! As far as the race thing goes...I read a thing from our
very own Patrick ( Paraphrasing here) that he enjoys watching the BORAF and
others but has no desire to actually race or dress like a racer, which
If you are using Romulus as second declension, accusative, that would be

I wonder why a reputable bike shop couldn't sell MCRBs... AND steel

My LBS has a Crosscheck and LHT or two tucked in there amongst all the

No doubt David but then Redlands has a strong off road contingent, Pasadena
seems to be race bike and MTB downhill bombing centric. I suspect that
people with the means to purchase a Steel lugged in Pasadena and Los
Angeles perceive these bikes as either old fashioned or clunky, little do

Yes they like Steel & lugs with skinny tires, I've met some of these
fellows and the criticisms can get annoying if your bike is not completely
era specific...to each their own :-)

Yep, but I feel they don't need to be, I had a 90's era Pinarello Montello
and it was pretty period with a few exceptions and I got an ear full. I
totally appreciate what these guy's do it's fantastic, but I'm just not
that into it. I can appreciate those bikes in others hands :-)

That's funny. I didn't realize they were so obsessive. Everyone needs a hobby!

A friend of mine forwarded me the info and I posted it on my social media

It's a long shot, but here are
three listings that show up in the stolenbicycleregistry.com:

I just read Dave's comments on the Smart Sam's. So if your riding a 58 cm
or larger Atlantis then you need to go with the 45's as I read it the 26"
Atlantis's can take the 2.1"/55 mm tire of course with out no fenders.
Still need recommendations on a All rounder slicker tread though.
