Fenders?

There are clamp-on bottle mounts of all sorts. But it'd be nice to have more braze-ons. It also seems like there are no fender braze-ons.

The frame has IS disc brakes but yeah, we don't know if the hubs are disc-ready and whether they're 6-bolt or Centerlock (like Yuba wheels).

I'd have to see one for the final judgment. I wonder if that LBS I go to is getting any?

I'm getting closer to budgeting for it. The wife thinks cargo bikes cost $2000 or more, I'm planning on being able to build this one complete for $900.
The new 20100 Xtracycle Radish would have been a worthy contender if not for a few major oversights, such as lack of disc brake mounts on the frame and a single chainring, not to mention an awful frame color. It almost looks like it was intentionally designed to be less attractive than the BD.
