Overview:
Ahhh...The Romanceür. This is Ron's (Ultraromance) brain child. The 1" threaded, lugged, disc brake bike, now offered in a rim brake version as well! The Romanceur is designed to be able to take you out for a couple day jaunt and bring everything you may need for a whimsical time, in style.
Build Notes:
This run (and this run only) root beer colored Disc Romeo has a dropout/derailleur hanger that's compatible with cassettes that are 10 speed or less only. Set it up with a double or triple to get the wide gear spread of your dreams. The Canti version can be set up with whatever gearing you want.
The Disc Romanceür can fit 26x2.3" or 650bx48 tires with fenders. Without fenders you can go for 26x2.4" or 27.5x2.2".
The Canti Romanceür is 650b/ 27.5" ONLY due to brake mount placement, but retains the 650bx48 with fenders and 27.5x2.2" without fenders.
The Disc version's rear brake has internal cable routing through the top tube, while the Canti version has two cable stops.
Front and rear thru axles are included with the Disc model.
The Disc version is I.S. mount. Best set up with up to a 160mm rotor front and rear
