Micheal, I know that it's not THE answer that you are looking for AND
it would be A LOT more expensive, but you could contact Rivendell and
have a new custom made in the STYLE of an MB-1. You could get one of
the new Pacenti fork crowns up front, some really fantastic
craftsmanship, and a bicycle

So Beth, what about setting up the LL with 35s without fenders and
just ride it on nice days when rain isn't predicted (cue laughtrack,
Beth lives in Portland, OR). I've had a similar issue with my

fenders. For the most part I've

Not sure, but I don't think it solves the problem for cyclists. The

still narrow and twisting.

For some reason, the QB's had them and so did the Canti-Roms. I'm not sure
about the regular Roms and Redwoods.
I think that outside of those mentioned above, other Rivendells have not had
that "feature".
