The Romance Is Dead (RiD) is a Romanceür, minus the "romance". What I mean is that there are no lugs, no threaded steertube, and a sloping top tube. Sleek and simple and a bit less expensive than the ol' Romeo, since you're not paying for all of the lugs n what-not.

Build Notes:

The geo is the same as the Romeo. The head tubes are a bit longer on these to make the same stack number, which the Romeo achieves with it's threaded steerer being long and requiring a stack of spacers between the lock nuts. Standover is measured at the center of the top tube.

It can fit 26x2.3" or 650bx48 tires with fenders. Without fenders you can go for 26x2.4" or 27.5x2.3". If you want to go with 700's your max clearance we can recommend would be around a 38-ish. I'd only run 700 if it is the wheelset you already have, otherwise 27.5 or 26 is the move.

The RiD uses a Flat Mount brake front and rear. You will need a flat mount fork adapter for the front. It uses a 180mm front rotor and a 140mm or 160mm (with an adapter) rear.

The RiD can be set up with a double or a triple if you so desire.

The fork has internal dynamo routing. The frame provides you with a mount for a thread-in style dynamo tail light.

Front and rear thru axles are included.
