Done like dinner!

After ordering aluminum spacers, three trips to Tacoma Screw and having to drill out a stripped nut that was behind the chain stay bridge, here she is.

I'll be damned if they're not rigid once the stays are tightened.

Nice fenders! Velo Orange hammered? I've got some and they're great. I noticed a little rattling between the seat stay clamp & fender so pushed a piece of old tube in there (can't see it), and now it's as quiet as can be. Some in the vintage crowd use a cork instead of the aluminum spacer.

So how do you like it?

The ONLY time my wife accepted a bike stand with a bike on it in the kitchen, was when I put fenders on HER bike.

Looks good. I like the look of those hammered AL fenders.
