I just want to chime in to say how much I like the Campeur. VO really
nailed it with this frame. For those who might be curious but haven't
ridden one: it's equal parts useful and fun. Really feels like a modern
version of a nice quality 70's/80's hay day touring bike. Too tall for me
and I don
I would second the Berthoud option. Since they're steel they're a little
bit heavier than popular alu options. However, the quality difference
between the VO and Berthoud is instantly recognizable. Honjos/RH are also
great but are more expensive and require more labor to install. Any shop
that
I'd echo John about the bolt cutter and file. Between plugging in a Dremel,
changing attachments, and actually doing the job I'd imagine doing it
without a power tool would be faster and less of a choice induced headache.
Plus, I find the Knipex Cobolt cutters to be a pleasure to use.

Howdy, I'm assuming that you're talking about the newer Dia Compe 980s with
threaded posts and not the 1980's 980s. I'm using these on a Crust
Romanceur with Rene Herse 650x48's that are measuring around 47mm on the
Pacenti Brevet rims. I don't need to deflate the tires when removing the
wheels
Am I correct that this size is for 700c wheels?

Howdy all,
I know it's a bit of a long shot, but I'm wondering if anyone has a 54.5
Hilsen frameset that they're hoping to move to a new home. Barring that
option, I'm looking for something pretty with a similar fit to set up with
650bx42 tires, drop bars, plus racks and fenders for camping and
No relation with seller. I'm not in the market for a Bombadil, but it is
very temping in my size.. I'm hoping one of you will buy it so I don't have
to!

It sounds like you've already made the decision to buy them, but I'd like
to give another thumbs up vote. I use them on my 90's Ibis cross bike with
mustache bars. They seem well thought through in that they set up easy and
give me a balance of power and modulation that I like. I also like how t
