Have to say your ideas and experiences have been really inspiring for me.<br /><br />I originally planned to use a lighter rim like a Mavic A119 or A719, though the Chukker is not much heavier (about 75-100g more), but it is a bit wider and I found a very good deal on a set laced to the latest Deore hubs. They look to be really beefy, and I weigh in at 165 so I think I can ride them pretty hard with no worries.<br /><br />Bars will be the On-One Midge, I totally love those for the control and leverage they offer, and the wrist clearance for climbing out of the saddle while in the drops.<br /><br />Frame just showed up this morning, gonna install the headset and spray some T9 in there tonight. I think the paint color is more awesome in person than most photos I've seen can convey. It'll look great with some dirt all up on it.Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-76573611529248819232014-07-09T04:37:26.526-04:002014-07-09T04:37:26.526-04:00Thanks Aaron, I look forward to seeing your Camarg...Thanks Aaron, I look forward to seeing your Camargue. If I was in charge, I'd build one with lightweight rims and 2.2" tires, a wide-range double, and a comfortable all-day drop bar position (Grande Cru Rando Bar) . Aside. I'd get the hell out of town and ride the rubber off of it. I think the Camargue is an exciting concept, capable and comfortable off-pavement, or just off the beaten path. I hope to see you build soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-73364862179635465562014-07-08T19:01:21.448-04:002014-07-08T19:01:21.448-04:00Nick, I'll be building up a 62 frame this week...Nick, I'll be building up a 62 frame this weekend in the manner you're asking for - dirt drops, 2x10 drivetrain, 2.2 Panaracer Drivers on Chukker rims. For now it'll just be for fun day rides, but ultimately I plan to take it out for overnighters and longer trips that would be too gnarly for my Campeur.<br /><br />Frame should be arriving today or tomorrow, the rest of the build is sitting on my bench just waiting for it!<br /><br />Will be sending in some photos as soon as it looks presentable.<br /><br />Cheers and also thanks for writing an excellent blog, I think I discovered it while looking for info about the Campeur (or was it that I learned of the Campeur through your blog? unsure...), and have been hooked since.Aaronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-19530140370486635782014-07-08T13:30:54.050-04:002014-07-08T13:30:54.050-04:00Great looking tires, with a tread pattern similar ...Great looking tires, with a tread pattern similar to the Maxxis Ardent. Now, can we see a Camargue built up like it should be, with drop bars and knobbies, emphasizing a fast and assured ride off-pavement.
