Significantly more difficult to fender than my George Longstaff Audax
Custom. Of course, that's a custom (made for John Bayley 25 years ago)
rather than an off-the-shelf bike, but still. Both bridges in back are
in exactly the correct locations, and the seatstay bridge has a fender
mount boss underneath, and the chainstay bridge has one as well.
Clearance and versatility are fine things, but honestly, for the
chainstay bridge to be over an inch too far forward? Today? If Grant
says "it isn't hard, you just have to pay attention," should we take
that as evidence that he is not paying attention?

Dear Steve,
Rivendells are as easy to fender as the typical British club bikes, or the Japanese sport-touring
machines. It is only in the last fifteen years of the integrated-bike renaissance that designing
for more than "clearance" and "versatility" has been even recognized as
desirable in the USA. Grant himself stated that it isn't hard. You just have to pay attention.
Best,
Will
