I admire your indifference to digital technology. I must use it for my work, though I am more thoroughly enmeshed in it that I need be, but every time the developers come up with a new and "improved" OS or application, I curse the added complexity that adds little if any benefit (like increasing th

Ha, I actually have no camera that takes clear photos (old laptop and cheap flip phone, both unworthy cameras). These were taken by a friend who was honing in on just the fenders. So it may be a while before full bike photos for this machine exist. And when I am away from internet (don't hav

That's both clever and well done. I've made similar "splash guard" systems, though much cruder, for various mountain bikes using black plastic and zip ties; protection is not as good as with "real" fenders but far better than clip-on shorties or nothing. Will you please post the obligatory right-s
