FS: Canti-Rom - 63 cm - CA only

[James Warren]

Hi RBW Forum Friends,

Photos show a bike that’s been in my large hoard that has always gotten way too few miles. (I have a Ram and a Hunq and a Hillborne and an Atlantis and about 12 other bikes, so the Rom has often sat in my collection as “cool to own,” but it’s a great, versatile road bike that needs to get out there. I’ve taken great care of it since 2006 (when I got it via trade for a Heron touring on this forum), and the frame has very few scratches and is in outstanding condition.

I have a 93 cm PBH, so this frame is about 1 cm too small for me. The long and high Nitto stem in the photos shows how I addressed it and made the frame size work for me.. I have many other stems if the buyer wants a different dimension stem swapped in (but that would mess up the cork bar tape.) The saddle height in the photos is probably a bit lower than my usual 81 cm.

Asking $1500 which includes delivery to the buyer in California. Avoiding shipping is my desire, and I enjoy CA road trips in the month of August. Before August 11 or 12 would be ideal. PayPal or Venmo

Components:
Dia Compe canti brakes
Tiagra drop bar brake levers
Nitto stem
Nitto Noodle handlebar - 44 cm
Riv Silver bar-end shifters
Shimano Ultegra headset
Suntour XC-Pro crank triple: 46-36-24
12-34 SRAM 9-speed cassette
Dura Ace front derailleur
Deore rear derailleur
MKS sneaker pedals
Thomson seatpost
Seller San Marcos saddle
Panaracer Pasela 700x37 tires
Rear wheel is Lesnik-built: Alex DM18 with LX hub, 36 spokes
Front wheel is not a Lesnik: Sun CR-18 rim and a hub labeled “Shimano”, 36 spokes

Thank you,
Jim Warren, long-time Forum member

Hi Mike,

Standover is just under 88 cm with the Panaracer 700x37s on the bike.

Bump: price listed includes delivery from me to California buyer in August, with no unboxing. I’d just hand over the bike. Or make offer.

I have additional photos sendable to anyone interested.

Hi Mike,

What a great color! Rare bike, fat road tires, Golden Age fit and finish. 

I’d get this in a heartbeat, if I didn’t already have a shiny green “French Fit” custom.

Beautiful bike!

I used to have one and regret selling it. Of course with my arthritis I probably couldn't ride it 😔

[Dan Sullivan]

these are a great color.  I've got one that shares time with my BMC monstercross.  Really a nice, light, fast bike and it seems like everyone who sees it comments on the color. I run 38 Gravel Kings that are wonderful tires.

Is said bike still traveling with you Jim?  I converted 88 cm to inches. Having a 90.5 PBH, that leaves to little clearance for the uh, gentlemen, and leaves me out of the running. Dang cool bike! Great talking with you on Saturday and wish you good journeys on the remainder of your holiday.
