Take a look at your fork before you do. The pic online at BD shows a proper double fitting on the rear dropout for rack & fenders but I don't see an eyelet fitting on the fork. Perhaps the low-rider braze-on could be kludged into service to mount the front fender?

Not an issue on a frame w/ cantis but I used "Sheldon's Fender Nuts" w/ the caliper brakes on my rando-ish bike so once fitted the mudguards can be removed/installed in minutes as we enter our summer drought. When it rains it pours.
