It did have full guards, toe vs. guard overlap was an issue though and they were getting damaged. Could run ok with 23c tyres but wanted bigger tyres to deal Yorkshire roads, so ditched the guards and put 32s on.
We're mudguards really the difference between 32s and 23s? I was hoping a bike that could fit 35s without guards would be able to fit 32s, or at worst 28s with them...
Looks thoroughly excellent, love the dual front lights too. If that bike had full length mudguards I would hunt you down and steal it
