Hope this doesn't strike folks as too curmudgeonly. These specific model groups are fine but I hope everyone is putting their photos on the main Rivendell Flickr group. Using tags in the main group will allow us to find the images of make specific Rivendells in the main group. Hope this doesn

Jason, After looking at the photos of your 54cm Road Standard, I'd agree - you don't have sufficient clearance to fit fenders with a 28C tire. I'm certain that my Road Standard (65cm size) has more clearance, but without taking the fenders off the bike I'm not sure of the clearance measurement. J

Jim It amazes me that you could fit a fender with 28mm tires. I stand corrected, It is possible, just not with my frame. Even on your bike the clearance for the fender is quite tight it really deforms the fender line. I wonder how much space you have there. I uploaded some photos to show the c

Jason, It's certainly possible to fit fenders to a Rivendell Road Standard from this era (1995-1997) with 700x28c tires. Here's a photo of my bike (a 1996 model of the Road Standard) with Honjos and Pasela 700x28c tires: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/5432058115/ I've never experience
