To me the new badge seems more like a sketch of a badge. It has some potential, but needs work. The Gus badge referenced is not a “pretty” badge but does (I think?) accurately reflect the spirit of the bike.

Hey Joyce. I can’t think of any reason you wouldn’t install the widest fenders that fit your fork blades/brakes and rear stays. You can always run a slightly narrower tire, it gives you the most versatility, and the weight is not going to be consequentially different. It should be as simple as me
