Anyway the Boardman is finished! It was postponed for about a week because the original plan for the fender attachment didn't work at all, so I had to order other bits and well its a bit of a pigs ear.
So now my advise is; if you are going to try and put fenders on a track bike, just buy the complete Velo Orange set with all the trimmings.
What I have at the moment is a kind of PDW/VO hybrid monster of a fender kit but it works.
It's been done for about a week and its seen all of the shitty weather since Monday, it's kept me bone dry and safe.
Christina is also quite a nippy bike, so I'm really quite pleased I fitted that front brake, I've been quite pleased about that maybe 10 times this week so far because I quickly learnt that when you're on the drops in the wet, fixie skids ain't stopping you for shit.
And yes that's right... Christina... Christina Boardman.
