2005 Rivendell Canti-Romulus
Built up between October 2006 and February 2007 as my randonneuring bike for self-supported brevets. The ride and fit is nice, comfortable and predictable. Tom Matchak built a new fork with 65mm rake and 37mm trail (almost removed all TCO -thanks Tom!). Dennis Bushnell added braze-ons for rear lights, 3rd downtube cage, BB cable runs and seat stay mounted pump and extra eyelets on dropouts. (Photos don't show DT shifters, Record carbon levers added just after these photos were taken). This bike was used for all brevets in 2007 and Paris-Brest-Paris.
