Owner's choice, I guess. It does look nifty that way -- if it's an
option for you. In my case, lacking the mid-fork mounting point, I had
no choice.

understood, but why not on the eyelet at the fork drop outs?

that bike looks dialed. i've never seen a front fender mounted on
the mid-fork brazeons like that before. interesting, i wonder why?
Jan showed a setup like that in BQ last year. The purpose is to
support the front section of the fender. If you have a long front
fender and no rack to tie the front of the fender to for support,
the front of the fender can wobble around and that eventually will
cause the fender to break. Pano was justifiably quite proud of the
job he did bending the stay to make it look like that.
I had a similar situation with my George Longstaff, but because I
have no mid-fork braze-on to anchor the extra fender stay to I had
to fasten both the front and the rear fender stay to the fork eyelet:
As you can see, clearances are very tight, and you have to measure
the stay exactly to leave room. What you can't see is the Presta
valve lock not (aka "dork nut") that I'm using as a spacer between
the two R clips.
