Beautiful frame and can't wait to get it rollin'. She wanted a trail-ready touring bike (for local trails combined with some weekend "farm-hopping" to stock-up on fresh produce... & hopefully some overnight bike camping!) Choices are rather limited for quality extra-small production frames of this type and we narrowed it to the Camargue vs. Salsa's Vaya. Although completely different in several ways, they both had an extra small size combined with 26inch wheels and similar clearances (standover and tire.) <br />The technical stuff was left to me but she made the final call. I couldn't be happier with her selection and really look forward to building this. Thanks VO for a great product and service!<br /><br />And FYI for anyone else looking at the 47cm - although clearance is tight between the rear brake cable hanger and seatpost binder, VO was clever enough to include a neat little noodle to make cable routing easier!

For the intended use, off-road touring, there are some of us who want the simplicity of cantis and that is why this frame is a nice alternative to the Fargos and other bikes of that ilk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-89615845674233014932014-07-01T18:18:53.076-04:002014-07-01T18:18:53.076-04:00Actually, I think it's those of us that began ...Actually, I think it's those of us that began riding with V's and discs that are lucky. <br />I ride canti's with drop bars and 42 tires on unsealed roads, but with 2.2 knobbies on singletrack I just don't think they have enough power. It's the difference between recklessly flying along and nervously checking my speed.

How is one intended to use the screws in the dropouts for setting axle position? Sub Topics: Getting the wheel true in the frame? Correct setting/position for derailers?<br /><br />Also, those screws sticking out the back look awfully exposed and damage prone, as well as a bit ugly. Are they only needed for setup?<br /><br />Thanks.Mark Holmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-80140902630209800732014-06-28T21:12:49.456-04:002014-06-28T21:12:49.456-04:00I plan to use a Soma June Bug off-road drop bar on...I plan to use a Soma June Bug off-road drop bar on my Camargue.
