The fenders are the SKS Chromo-plastics and just cover the 700x32 tires. Most V-brakes and all cantilever should clear them with no problem. <BR/><BR/>Nice to know one of my builds has inspired someone. This bike is probably the most comfortable bike I own for doing long hauls. With the Brooks saddle and the Origin-8 Tiki bars, it's easy to settle in and cruise for long periods of time.UglyBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689155504296226068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953508217839046313.post-9520248362855125592009-01-05T21:24:00.000-07:002009-01-05T21:24:00.000-07:00nice bike I would like to know more about the brak...nice bike I would like to know more about the brake set up on your bike, wear did you finde the brakes that cleared over the finders? looks nice Id love to make one just like it.Emmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982935006844757804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6953508217839046313.post-57444818321063149972008-12-20T19:35:00.000-07:002008-12-20T19:35:00.000-07:00Nice Bike!
