Rivendell Romulus (nearly complete bike), rare cantilever version, great condition, 59. Please read the entire description before bidding. Approximate dimensions (cm):TT: 57.5 c-cBT: 63.5-64 c-cST: ~61 c-t, ~59-59.5 c-cChainstay: ~34 c-cHT: 10.5 c-c, 19 top to bottom I’m 6’-2” and this frame was a bit too small for me. There are great sizing recommendations on Rivendell’s website. Unfortunately I never heeded Rivendell's recommendations when I purchased the bike ...(If the bike was a size 61 or 63, I’d probably never sell it!). You may notice the clear protective tape from the photos. It’s called helicopter tape (apparently designed to protect helicopter blades but I’ve found that it works well as a frame protectant, similar to clear chain stay protectors). I applied it to the highest wear areas (underside of the downtube, each side of the top tube, etc.) to protect the frame from scratches. It’s easily removable and it won’t lift off or damage the paint. Several areas have small blemishes and scratches. Photos capture several of them. Overall great condition, as photos attest. I believe that the frame was made in 2004 as a part of a small cantilever batch by Toyo in Japan.General information on the model: http://cyclofiend.com/rbw/romulus/index.html
