Yes, they are close to bridge and they droop forward some too probably due to the old daruma I'm playing with. I found the daruma on an old set of fenders a friend used on PBP in 1991. I will re-rivet the angle bracket back on soon. I think they are P55 originally used with 26x1.5 and later with 559x47 Pasellas (that only inflated to 42 mm). They fit the Hetres okay.
The conversion to 650b works fine for this 56cm Atlantis. I now have a 58cm, 26 inch wheel LHT that is my touring bike now and I'm happy this frees up the Atlantis for Hetre play. I will ride this next month at Riv Rally East. On Mar 1, 2012, at 10:15 AM, Peter Morgano wrote: > Looks sweet with the red Hetres, what size fenders are those?
