I like the planet bike cascadias a lot but I'd also take a look at the SKS fenders. You won't go wrong with either fenders. This is a very good looking bike.

Did you have someone locally do the braze ons and the paint job? Good choice of color for a touring bike.

What kind of wheels are you using and tires?

I like the sugino crank (that is a sugino crank, right?) a lot. I might be tempted to go with a trekking crank (44-32-22) on a build like this as well.

What kind of pedals are you using?

I find steel water bottle cages a bit more durable than aluminum; being able to bend them a bit is a plus as well.

I really like that style of drop bar on a build like this.

This is a really fine build, .
