not a tough question at all...you DON'T have to choose!

what kind of "custom builder" can't make a frame wide enough to accept fenders?
is he just cut-n-pasting off the rack stuff together?

if laying out heap big wampum on a "custom" frame, why not get the frame YOU
want, and not a frame the builder can kludge together?

big guy with touring gear maybe wants to go off road? how about a frame the
gives you the ability to run 700*50 or 29*3.0.......with fenders.
