Doesn't work real well with the rear fender though. I'm leaning more towards a steel bike now. Just need to ride more of them.
I did the same thing on my Trek. Its quill stem made it challenging when I then wanted to go to a threadless set up, but accomplished it. Stem is now horizontal on it, but pretty stubby. Would guess I'll get to that on the Torker, but its geometry is a lot different. the trek is a 57" and Torker is a 54" and both fit me very well.
I was running 37s with fenders but opted for 47s without them. The rear rack on the Trek takes care of the spray and I have a removable fender for the front. Undecided on fenders for the Torker.
