[RBW] WTB: 42cm Noodles or VO Course Bars and Carved Cambium

I've got the carved and regular Cambium saddle, and both are my current favorite. I don't notice much difference in the feel between the two. But I'm a small guy, so maybe someone heavier than 140lbs will offer a different experience. Chris Johnson Sanger, Texas -- You received this message

Overlap among Grant’s designs has existed for a long time. Weren’t the Road Standard and Long Low models similar but for some small differences? Much like todays Joe App and the new Atlantis. Re: brake comments Doesn’t brake function correlate to set up? Mark said his Dia-Compe CPs work fine.

Wow, fantastic information from everyone who responded. Thank you all! It sounds like during colder weather, I'll need an insulator, but given the warm temps expected here this weekend, I think I'll be okay with just a sleeping bag. I'll bring a sleeping pad along just in case there aren't any

I am a big fan of hammock camping for similar reasons. Its not bulky to pack and my set up is lighter than a tent, plus you arent always searching for a flat spot. And the biggest reason: I just sleep way better in a hammock. But I have made my share of mistakes and had cold shoulders/butt. Her
