Mine does not. It's a Toyo-made, from the first batch. The seatstay bridge only has a horizontal hole for mounting the brake. The chainstay bridge fender contact point is the lip of the quickstand plate (er, "kickstand", actually, but now that I typed it, I really like the phrase "quickstand"...) which has a hole, but it is not threaded. There is no special hole in the fork crown other than the brake mount hole. In my haste to rig up a set of SKS's last winter, I just removed the Silver brakes and used the stock hardware. This year, when it morphs out of C. Xavier Hisen mode, I'm probably going to get a set of Sheldon Nuts to simplify the mount process. On the chainstay plate, I just used a round head bolt and a nylon lock nut. Didn't budge. Remember, the Hilsen is set up for center mounted brakes, while the Hillborne is rigged for canti's. Also, for the crown, I think the daruma-style crown bolt is the only way to seat a fender without using the bracket. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Current Classics Bicycle Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc Cross Bike Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/cx Single Speed Garage Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/ssg Working Bikes & Practical Hardware - http://www.cyclofiend.com/working Work Shops of the iBob's - http://www.cyclofiend.com/shop Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "That which is overdesigned, too highly specific, anticipates outcome; the anticipation of outcome guarantees, if not failure, the absence of grace."
