Thanks for posting the clearance pics! I've been following some of the online chatter on dedicated MTB's and many people think the industry is going to settle on 27.5 x 2.6 tires rather than full 3" tires. It looks like those would be a possibility on this bike. On Sunday, October 1, 201

Keith, The pic of the crown is misleading, I think there would be room for fenders. The brace between the seat stays is pretty close though, and with a 2.4 tire, the brake cables would be an issue. My plan is to get wooden fenders and I'll be able to "shape" them to fithopefully. On Mo
