I am the original owner of this beautiful 2004 limited production bike. The only changes I made were to add a larger sprocket on the front for greater speed and to change the handlebars to the Albatross for less neck strain. I still have the Nitto Noodle handlebars and original brake set that I will include.

 

Features include:

 

27 speeds with bar-end shifters

Shimano 105 rear derailleur

Ruffy Tuffy 700 x 28c tires

Baggins bag

Zefal X4 pump

Cateye wireless bike computer

Platform pedals

 

I have loved this bike, but recent neck issues are requiring me to look toward recumbents. I have used it for mainly local rides, but it also performed very well on a 300-mile tour. 

 

You can pick up the bike in Holland, MI or can ship anywhere with professional packing and bikeflights.com at your cost. Email me for more pictures.

I'm having trouble finding any Geo charts for the Romulus. Anyone know where I can find one?

I miss my Romulus!  One of the few bikes I truly regret selling...

I'm ready to sacrifice this one. Anyone interested at $900?

This is a Toyo-built Roadeo-quality bike at a less-than-Roadini price, people. Not my size or I'd have my old Romulus back..step up!
