That's the one! It's been spotted by a few here. I've talked to the owners partner about it and she really doesn't want to sell it. It's probably been used almost everyday of it's 25+ year life so she's pretty attached to it. It be a serious project ... I've seen it up close.
I have seen a total of 5 Romaxs (Romaxes?) in the GTA
- that local commuter
- the dirt drop/ripe pipe one
- this one
- shutter's one from Ottawa which I believe is for sale.
- one once at Bisegal modified as a track or circle racer.
Not many make it east.

I've seen a different one around Yonge/St.Clair area, very, very rough, years ago though. I have a pic of the Leslieville bike, taken some years ago, couldn't quite believe it when I saw it. Think that entrance was still to the big movie rental place (Jumbo?)at the time, before the makeover anyway.

Nice find Jimi! I'm also trying to decide on paint for a couple Romax's, not a big fan of repainting, but they had already been altered by the time I got them.
