I guess I failed to take into account that those are 29'ers on there!

Louis, the Camargue was specifically designed as an off-road tourer or bikecamping vehicle. It's designed around 50+mm tires, has stout tubing and long chainstays. If you are familiar with the Tour Divide route, that's specifically what the Camargue is designed to handle. Pretty much a modern mountain bike in the style of the late 80's MTB's.

I need to do some more research on wide 700c slicks. I'm starting to consider the Camargue again!
