Dear Steve, Sure. The Longstaff was built to carry fenders full-time. The basic Rivendell design templates were adapted/lifted from Bridgestone and Schwinn Paramount production concepts and standard American build practice. These are not bad roots, but they are grounded in a less-specified build concept, that of frame+wheels+parts+accessories vs. integrated design.
The Rivendells products I have used were built with horizontal dropouts, and used a forward-biased fitting for the chainstay bridge as a result. They were built to clear a design tire when inflated, and fender line was apparently not a significant priority. Having room for them was an avowed concern. Besides, the Rivendell sales literature ppked a bit of fun at the Honjo fenders in favor of Esges, and made specific reference to the difficulties of Honjo setup.
