Funny you should say this...
Have been looking for a chain guard ever since the Shasta became a 3 speed and pulled this one off an old Rapido and fitted it up... was blasting through puddles and small lakes of water on my ride today and hardly a speck of water hit me or the frame.
Will be fitting a slightly larger chain ring for summer as this guard wants a 46 tooth ring and I am running a 40... will increase my rear cog to compensate for the chain ring which will just make the drive even smoother.
