Sorry to burst all of your bubbles, based on very well placed sources: The frame in question is the full carbon riv that was NOT at the SD bike show. The original buyer requested that it had clearance for no more than 20mm tires, but that was mistakenly transcribed as 20mm with fenders. The final product just had a touch too much space between the 18mm tires that the customer preferred and the frame, destroying the balance between fat frame tubes and very tiny tires with subliminal clearance. It will probably be repainted as PROTOORBEA and sold on Ebay.
