The only downside to it is that it won't take full funders without modification, although the clip on EZ Freddy Fenders or whatever they're called work decently. It's a fast, fun bike that's been relatively bullet proof in the 8 months or so that I've been riding it (probably about 1500 miles).
I can't really speak for the OCR1 in your case, however I have fit a set of Planet Bike Fenders , plus a rack onto my OCR2 without any modifications. See the following link for a previous discussion with some pictures. The fenders are standard fenders, not clip ons. I assume the frame for the OCR1 should be the same (braze-ons?).

I am using the OCR2 for commuting, credit card touring, and long distance riding (centuries & brevets). It is fairly versatile, and can be suited to a number of different roles. The pictures in the link are of it's winter configuration. I remove the rack/trunk and fenders in the summer months depending upon the conditions of the ride.
