Yeah, I think the Camargue is probably a closer analogy to the Clem than
the Campeur.
I just put up a one year review of my Camargue, although reading it now, I
realized I mostly talked about the Albastache bars (-- Riv content):
Because I've had such great experiences meeting my internet buddies during
my travels, because I've read that some of you have an interest riding (or
re-riding) the CO, and because carving time out of a busy life for
lollygagging takes forethought, I want to announce my plan to ride the CO
Thanks Tim! I picked up the RM14 off the list, or maybe off iBOB earlier
this year so I'm not sure of a good place to source them. I checked over
at Bens Cycle but you're right that the ones available have the 31.4mm
clamp... bummer.

Where did you find RM-014's in normal clamp diameter?
I like that bar, but I can only find it in 31.8 mm clamp diameter

Tim,
That's some more good info. Suddenly I feel like I need to do some more
research before buying a rack for the front. Maybe I'll decide which
panniers first and then get a rack that suits/supports them well.
Thanks,

Hey gang,
This is probably a bit of an obscure question. I'm considering a Nitto
Campee Front rack for my 56cm Atlantis with 26 wheels. Apparently the
Nitto Campee Front comes in two sizes for 26 or 700c wheeled bikes. For
me there is significant cost difference between the two models. So

Anyone interested in putting faces with RBWOB handles? I'm gonna go get my

early morning ramble from Lincoln Square south to the 606 and then into
downtown.

same, my garments are 6+ years old.
The tights are great, not too tight like long underwear, but not too baggy

I prefer to have my bikes set up for aluminum fenders and the tires of my

There are three versions, actually.
27F is the 700c model. It has a small platform, and the mounting struts
at the bottom are angled. 27R is the matching rear.

larger than the classic), and the mounting struts at the bottom

I recently went looking for fenders for a cross frame with no bosses for
anything. I looked at everything. The Crud Catcher gets the best review
for being the closest to full coverage fenders, though I can't find its

Hey Aaron, I believe the 700c will be too far out and too high to provide

I've used the Velo Orange Campeur front rack. It is long enough that you
can mount it to your lower fork eyelet for 26 or so, or upper fork dropout
eyelet for 700 wheels. You can also cut the tange to fit. The
