The fender works well with water but I've never tried slush or snow. Thanks for the advice. I'll plan on a real one soon.
I figured it'd bring the "heat" on my bike down because its ridden daily around campus.
As for that ostro frame. I was considering one a LONG time ago but Keith advised against dealing with him so nope, I don't own one.
Ostro sent me those photos when we chatted and I uploaded it cause I thought they looked awesome.
+ I think another bike would be a bit too excessive.
