this one does have eyelets, though clearance would probably be tight. It is mostly commuting because I don't have much time for anything else, but being able to put a rear rack on is a plus. As for as fenders, I see them as a luxury, as I have a different priority of things to spend $30 or $40 on right now. If I get a little dirt oh well, I'm commuting to college, not work, and I change to normal clothes once I get there.
