You will be pleased to know my Hillborne has a threaded boss on the
underside of the seatstay bridge, perfectly placed for easy fender
installation. My Hillborne has a threaded boss on the trailing edge
of its kickstand plate, perfectly placed for easy perfect fender
line. All my Rivendells have vertical dropouts, which allow me to
achieve good fenderlines. I've owned several Rivendells and none of
them required a wine cork.
I am indeed pleased to hear that. It's what we should expect on a
quality frame, and other than issues with misplaced bridges Rivendells
certainly are quality frames.
So from my perspective "typical" is very good fenderability. Not
perfect, but very good. I was pleased to inspect the Appaloosa
frameset and find an inward facing threaded boss on the seatstay
bridge. I hope they are equidistant, as you would hope. So, not all
Rivendells will infuriate you the way that one small Atlantis did and
continues to do. I can't think of anybody on this group that has
gotten as much mileage out of badmouthing somebody else's bike than
you have out of that one small Atlantis. Maybe all my recent good
luck with fenders on Rivendells has been the result of your frequent
"constructive criticism" of that one small Atlantis? If that's the
case, thanks!
What can I say? "Infuriating" is wrong: I found it shocking.
Dismaying. Deeply disappointing. Maybe I expected too much. If things
have changed for the better, then I am delighted.
