I think this one goes with the overall theme; it is my daily commuter.

Nice Special (post 1428). Took a look at your Pedalroom specs, wondering what size those Paselas are? Looks like good clearance. I have a Special and a Classic (Wabi) and I'm always interested in diff tire/rim combos and how they work with regard to clearance. Planning to install fenders on the Classic, since it has the "hidden" threaded mounts.

I as well, although my interest this time around is in fenders, not racks. Doesn't this mean that - clearances notwithstanding - virtually any bike can run fenders? I assume P clips can be added to the rear stays (seat stays would be the best place, if I had to guess) as well.

same deal with racks (except on the heavy end of load capacity) surly sells extensions that allow you to attach virtually any rack to any frame, even without brake holes

P-clips and some creativity and you can jam full fenders on basically anything. It's nice to have a dremmel handy for tight fits. Also racks.
Personally I don't bother with any type of fender that's not full coverage; if it's regularly wet where you're riding more coverage is better, particularly on a townie as you want to get where you're going and stay clean lookin'.
Work split fenders into the equation for mastery of the raciest frame/big tire combos...I've run 28's on a 90's Bianchi race bike in the snow before with home made split fender brackets.
