not quite my style but looks great. that's an awfully generous fender line you got there, me thinks you can go larger on the tire :) On Saturday, November 9, 2013 4:38:04 PM UTC-5, WETH wrote: > > My mail carrier left a decent size box on my doorstep around noon today. > To my amazement the fe

My mail carrier left a decent size box on my doorstep around noon today. To my amazement the fenders I ordered from Woody's (http://www.woodysfenders.com) on Tuesday night had arrived! I ordered a pair of 26 x 2 1/4 Lace wood flat fenders for my Atlantis. A bit later in the afternoon I had

I hope my negatives post wasn't too negativedarn phone typing. Anyway, I agree 100% that they look incredible. As an amateur woodworker myself I admire the craftsmanship in the nicer inlay flat woodies and especially the compound curve ones. Incredible work. I similarly admire the Renovo

I have a set of Compound Curve Woody's Fenders on my AHH. I thought they were very easy to set up, have plenty of clearance for the tires I am using and give me plenty of real world rain protection. After about 10 months of commute duty, they look as they did when new. For what it is worth, the

My buddy dressed his Dahon in copper trim - went so far as having the pedal cages plated. He bought copper fenders from Denmark that were thin flat bar, shape-your-own simple bend. Came out really nice and remind me in appearance of the simple bend wooden fenders, though slightly thinner. O
