Well, maybe if I had built the bike as a planned project, I may have gone to the trouble. It was originally thrown together from my parts bin, then modified slightly with the seat, fenders and bars. All else was laying around the house, including the Miche wheels.

its the damned muddy/leafy/junky roads that make me happy to fender up
It was the only fenders that would fit. Should I remove the post

there's so little clearance the brakes don't matter too much, i had nashbar jailbrakes(can fit 28c) with 23c sks fenders and a 23 in the rear and an 18c up front.
the front was nearly impossible, and even with sks's good mounting hardware would come out of alignment if i kicked it, which happens with the kilo's overlap.

Ok, here's another one. This was my commuter when I had a job to commute to. I got lazy and didn't want to bend the stays, so I just mounted them to the rack brazeons.

@jauntygent: I had to do some custom "fabrication" because the plastic bracket that mounted the fender to the rear bridge was just a hair too thick. So I replaced it with a thin piece of steel bent to 90degrees that I bolted to the fender and VOILA!
