That’s a nice looking upgrade. Once I quit commuting on it the fenders
came off, and they’re not missed.
I’ve only replaced the drivetrain on mine. At times I miss the original 9

Thank you all for the helpful input. Sounds like I’ll be shopping for some
38s. I’m looking forward to seeing how it feels with some fatter tires.

I can run 38s, and I am running 35s with fenders, but had help to make it
fit. 33s were no problem with fenders. I have an orange Ram.

It's not exactly clear whether you want to run the fatter tires with or
without fenders. FWIW, I have a Ram of the same exact time period as yours
and I'm running 32mm Panaracers with fenders. I'd prefer to run 35's, but
