Well, the big issues with that group is reverse-threaded crank bolts. They have a self-extractor bolt though, so that's not actually a huge deal. Also, the chainring bolt spacings are funky. I guess field-serviceable is maybe the wrong word, more like field-replaceable, particularly if I'm dealing with a one-shop town somewhere in Eastern Oregon.

Although I do have the matching hubs, they're laced to Matrix tubulars, so I'd probably go with a modern wheelset anyway. Good point though. 126mm spacing would be questionable for touring/matching to most frames and the Campeur is 135mm, so reverse cold-setting/spacing the hubs would be a bad idea, IMHO.

Well ****, now I've gotta go look at that.
