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.
Yes!
One of my LBSs told me that it was possible to put full fenders on but would be "expensive" (I figure they mean they'd have to replace the brakes). All the OCRs have the same frame, from what I gather, so I imagine my braze-ons are the same. The only potential difference I can imagine is if my brake calipers are different from your ORC2 and have less clearance. Do you know what calipers are on yours (my bicycle foo is not adequate to recognize the year model of your OCR2, so I worry that looking it up might yield an erroneous result)? Also, what size tires are you running? I recently put in some 28s (Serfas Secas) on mine.
Full fenders my main bicycle would definitely be damn nice. That Cypress is heavy and slow!
