I built this Romulus over the Winter and have held off taking it on its first ride until after I knocked out another few S.M.A.R.T. goals. I was especially eager to ride it because I just pulled together a sweet ILE porteur bag setup on a Riv Basket Rack. Leah's thread that may result in her getting a Romulus finally made me take it out, on a ride to the dentist, the bakery and the wine shop. Pics prove it happened. This is my new Ding Ding Album to collect photos that I think Leah may like. Included is my Pink Roadeo in front of some great flowers that I took on my Sunday 100k.

You are the absolute best. You made a Ding Ding album? You broke your own rules and rode your Romulus! You posed a pink road bike against a floral backdrop? Hearts are coming out of my eyes.

Agreed Joe. Bill is a good man. And, what a fleet of bikes! I love the look of drop bars on a road bike. To my older eyes they just look appropriate. I say that as I'm converting my recently acquired Roadini to an Albatross bar.

Oh...a 3-speed Romulus!

That RoadeoRosa just looks right...Doug is absolutely right. I'm waiting to read about Bill's next brevet on that Roadeo; I suspect that bike rides like a dream.

I hate to betray my ignorance, but what are those flowers? Pansies? Great shots.

I don't know what flower that is. It was on the porch of East Bay Coffee in Pinole, Ca. The color was incredible.

Those African daisies (Dimorphotheca ecklonis) are a spectacular backdrop for your pink Roadeo!
