Setter blocked in by bus before lunchtime, cycling in Romanian city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sibiu

'romanian city' is the definition.
(city in Romania)

'setter blocked in by bus before lunchtime cycling' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'setter' could be 'i' (the person that set the crossword) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'lunchtime' could be 'i' (1pm could be I on a clock with Roman numerals) and 'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'bus' is 'sbu' which is present in the left over letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in the Independent.
