Sorry, that sucks.
My experience with bike shops packing bikes has not been good. Mostly this
has happened when I'm traveling away from home, and don't have the
facilities to do it myself. It's often relegated to the low person on the
totem pole of the shop, since it requires no special
I’ve also been in this situation, although in my case the frame was ruined. The
shop never did take any ownership, but the shipping company eventually covered
most of the cost of a new frame.

Back in the early days of Rivendell they produced some very nice jerseys; 2
different models and periods, IIRC; actually, I think 3. The first were

I don't have a Rambouillet, but I think your experience is about what to
expect from any bike designed for 57mm reach brakes. Under best case
scenario, you might fit 32mm tires and fenders, but clearance will be
tight. I think the intention is for 28mm max tire size with fenders, and
35mm
Yes, according to the brochure, it is intended for 28mm max with fenders.
And that call was on the money.
32 without fenders is great. I think it could take 700 x 35's without
fenders, too.
