thanks for your help

Looking at the picture on BikePedia
and wrk101's picture, it's pretty clear that the bike has rack and fender mounts. Mounting fenders with 2.125" tires might be a little tough but if you run a 1.95" or narrower tire, you should be fine. Alternatively, you could use the Shockblade which has more clearance... and less coverage... for the front and something like a
Planet Bike Clip-on for the rear. The Planet Bike front doesn't provide as much coverage as the Shockblade. You can extend the rear by grafting on pieces of the PB front fender on to the lower part of the clip on like this
You can also add protection to the front by adding a spray fender like in this picture
You can do all this with conventional fenders but my set up provides more clearance for knobbies than conventional fenders do. They are also quicker to put on and remove if you don't want to ride with them all the time.
