Hi Ana, Thanks for commiserating with me! I was going to start looking for a new LBS but then we had a worldwide pandemic, so that’s on hold and that’s why I’m galavanting around here with one fender. Sometimes I think this bike looks like it is going around without pants, so I put the rear rack on (this I can do!) and it looks better. But I do miss my waterfall fender. I got a LOT of great info here and in the end it led me to decide I’m not going to attempt fixing this fender myself. Too many things that I don’t know and I don’t even have a work stand, so it’s even more complicated.. One of these days I’m going to get my act together and learn from someone who knows what they’re doing. I’ll pay them and everything.
I took the Betz to be re-packed with the manager and then I did a couple extra things to REALLY ensure she’s packed in tight. But I wish she was assembled. It’s going to be a long wait for a Cheviot. Until then, I’ll be riding around this pants-less Clem!
