how did that go?
was it that he crashed it and messed it up and felt he had to buy it now or did he crash and just go "i'll take it!"

Our winters are wet and not too cold. Here's my fendered '89 Trek 660:
The fenders are SKS 35's. I couldn't get them to fit under the front brakes so I just cut them off there. And I had to be a bit McGuyverish with zipties and p-clips, but after a little tweaking they fit just fine.

I love it. In June of 1985 my dad took me to Van's Bicycles in Yuba City, CA, where he bought me my high school graduation present: an '85 World Sport in that same ice blue. It served me well through college and beyond and I often think fondly of it, and that it would have made a great fixed conversion had I been able to hold onto it.
Keep trying to kill it. It'll probably out-live you.

here is my winter bike
Haven't had a chance to test it in the snow as it's unseasonably warm here.
Home made brake caliper extenders to compensate for the 700c wheel, pretty awesome.
