The SKS's wouldn't look so bad if the installer had done a better job
of getting the curve to match the tire line.  They look kind of
slapped together and cheapen the whole bike as they are.

It's hard to tell if there's enough room at the seat stay bridge to
get the fender up as high as it ought to be.  Some modification might
be needed there, maybe lose the clip and use zip ties?  It looks like
the front clip is mouinted behind the fork instead of in front - good
for foot protection, maybe not so good for fender line.  I'd put it in
front, and add a long mud flap.

The black bar-ends also need to go.  Otherwise, yeah, nice bike.  It
would fit me, too, but no better than my current Road Std.
