  • Ronnie, Ron, UltraRomance... what ever you call him he is hard to miss.
    The vintage bikes, bushy beard, short shorts and thick sweaters.... His romantic and self-governed life is suggestive of times past. We spent the day chasing Mr. Romance around Lyme Connecticut to see if we could taste the freedom he so eloquently speaks of...

    A friend of mine told me the great thing about a bike is that you move at the speed of observation. The more I think about that line the more I agree.

      Yup. Its just 'that' speed.

      me peacefully commuting to work observing the fresh snow...THEN I observed a large angry dog charging at me full speed. That certainly is the speed of observation.

      @tmagee27 5 месяцев назад +6

      That's one of his own models with Crust, you can get something vintage for probably less if you look around, but his is a mix between the Specialized M2 Stupjumper and the Yeti FRO amongst other influences. It's built by one of the Yeti frame builders from when they were a small independent.
      I disagree with him on aluminium, but he's also far taller and slimmer than me and he makes some good arguments for his choices. Plus my few dealings with him and his partner have been very pleasant.
      I think he really is the nice, goofy guy with the ironic dad jokes you see on camera, it's not just an act and that's kinda refreshing.

    Feeling of flight? I now have a silent rear hub. Now, I really feel like I am flying when I glide. In the forest, I don't feel like an intruder. Not the lightest hub-but so so smooth. Don't ever want to go back.
    Best holiday wishes.

    It's funny, I'm almost 31 and for several years gave up bicycles for motos... but it's come full circle. I can't stop buying different styles of bicycles and even commute many days to work on my gravel bike. Ever since COVID, street riding on motos has just become a whole other level of danger that just isn't worth participating in... or maybe I've just become more prudent when it comes to adrenaline-fueled risk taking.
