I notice from the pics that Patch29's Freddys and the SKSs both have two supports back to the braze on. My Freddys have only one. I'm betting that both of theirs are better.

I do remember reading someone's comment about the attachment of the single support wire to the fender on some fender breaking. Don't recall if the comment was about a Freddy model or not. Something to watch for.

My LBSs only had the Freddys I got and some quick-steal models. I was in a hurry and they were realatively cheep. Still no complaints.
