FS: 59cm Velo Orange Campeur

[Nick Morehouse]

Selling my well loved VO Campeur (bought from this list 3yrs ago).  The bike rides great, looks great, and gets lots of comments but I hardly ever ride it anymore.  It is in good condition but does have so beausage on the top tube and drive side chain stay.  I have got a Jones for mountain biking/bikepacking and it has taken over pretty much all of my riding duties (and I need the cash for a project of course). Saddle, Acorn Rando bag, and Tubus racks not included.  I know it's not a Riv, but I bought the frame from here and there is a lot of crossover interest between Riv and VO. 

Asking Price is $1500 plus shipping or pickup locally in or near Hampton Roads VA (willing to meet if the drive isn't too far)

Build Includes:

Soma Highway 1 handle bars

Nitto Tallux Stem (70cm)

Nitto Dynamic Seat Post

Tektro CR720 Canti Brakes

TRP RRL Brake lever handles

Silver Triple Crankset (don't remember crank length but I )

Deore front and rear derailers with bar end shifters

Rivendell Built Velocity wheels w/shimano hubs (scavenged from a Appaloosa build)

VO Hammered Fenders

Panaraser Pasela  700X38 Tires

I just want to chime in to say how much I like the Campeur. VO really nailed it with this frame. For those who might be curious but haven't ridden one: it's equal parts useful and fun. Really feels like a modern version of a nice quality 70's/80's hay day touring bike. Too tall for me and I don't need it, but can't help but say nice things about the Campeur.

Another vote of confidence in the VO Campeur frame! Built one up for my brother-in-law for X-mas / Festivus, and it’s been phenomenal..

Price reduced to $1400 OBO and shipping negotiable depending on cost and method.  Thanks to everyone so far for the positive recommendations!  The campeur has been a great bike and I highly recommend it for those that are interested in Riv like bikes but with maybe a little more traditional drop bar focus (of course I would)

I need another bike like I need a hole in my head, but I must say this bike is really cool. 

The artwork on the top tube is by Dan Price of "living in a hobbit hole" fame and the legendary Moonlight Chronicles drawing zine.
