Sorry, I didn't see your comment before. But thanks! The front is a bit more crude looking up close, and I have a plan to tidy it up a little and make it more adjustable in the process. But it works well enough for now. The main reason I had to add the extra stay on the front is because my commute requires me to put my bike on a bus rack, and the arm that hooks over the front wheel is absolute murder on an unsupported fender (don't ask me how I know )



Where the stays mount to the fenders I just turned the standard Berthoud bolts backward and installed a stainless acorn nut on the outside. It adds a teeny bit of clearance underneath, but mostly I just thought it looked cool.
