I actually arrived at the seller's house just in time to talk another prospective buyer out of putting fenders on and leaving it the way it was. That was actually a pretty easy job because this thing has almost zero fender clearance. That's one of the main reasons it's been sitting in my garage for three months. I've got the Jake for times when I need fenders and a rack. This will be strictly a "grab-a-backpack-and-enjoy-the-sunshine" type of commuter and a fair-weather weekend bike. The lights will go on when I take it to the coast for the Yaquina Lighthouse Century, which invariably starts in dense fog.
