folks like Bulgie do not like 2-bolt stems. 2-bolt means zero insurance if
one bolt fails, where 4-bolt stems give you a shot at keeping the bars
attached if one bolt fails. Since you're talking about a "camping rig,"
4-bolt likely a better idea?

long can be cut
shorter, but too long means maybe new cables/casing and a rewrap.
And where would one be shipping to? Since once we're talking drop bars, box

And wheel/tire weight can make a difference on steering feel too. When I
ride my Roadeo unloaded on spirited road rides, I like the more lively

Noice! Price for the curious is $3,200.
I spy a similarly large-ish Waterford Paramount behind the Riv, in lovely
Frigidaire White (just made that up). That floats my boat, too, except for
the carbon fork. $2k.

labeled "Ass Saver," so a demi-fender, crud-catcher device.
Can't ID the cantis, I've seen 'em before, but...look wide profile, and
also look to have a nice, longish slot for wide-range brake shoe

Does the Platypus do that?

Cool! Thanks for the video! I wonder what the ovalization at the seat tube
is for. My guess is also twisting. I think it's a really cool feature, and
