So issues were simple and I was dumb - the real show-stopper was the front fender and parts to mount to the fork at the crown. Not all bikes require additional components, this bike did, and I didn't have any spares around the house.

Other minor issues included figuring out deflating the rear tire to mount it with the fender, this bike has a horizontal drop out and there isn't enough room to mount the tire fully inflated. This is less of an issue with the VO fenders since this issue would have come up with any fender on this bike. Here's a pic of the bike with fenders mounted, damn good looking (if I can say so myself).



VO fenders can be installed at home, you need a good tool kit, may need some extra parts and not be as dumb as me. If you buy from the LBS, ask for so additional input before bring them home, make sure you have what you will need. Our shop was super nice and helpful (Calhoun Cycle in Mpls).

Lastly, I'm able to install other fenders (Planet Bike) without any issue. So my skills are totally lacking, so the VO are more challenging to mount than Planet Bike.
