Here's a 2016 with mudguards. Maybe it depends which model year.

and when you say dura-ace... like what dura ace back brake, dura ace BB?

Dura-Ace is the top of the line category of Shimano, he is (probably) joking. There are way more affordable options that will serve you right, without having to lose a kidney.

i think the 2015 can take mud guards, i think it was step up from the 2014 model... do you know what those guards are, i can take look.

Probably SKS of some variety. Looks like you have the mounts on the track ends. I have SKS chromoplastics on my Solo World which is a Genesis Flyer frame, albeit from 2008.

There might be some leg pulling about dura ace going on

if you've got some wet chain lube, put a few drops into the brake calliper on any pivots or where two faces may rub. Just make sure to rub down the brake blocks after in case any went on them.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
