This bike looks like a lot of fun! How do you like the SMP?

Thanks!

I'm putting mudguards on a bike with an elevated chainstay. No mounting points around the bottom bracket area. Any ideas?
Derailleur pulley bracket and a looong spacer?

I'm having such a difficult time figuring out how this frame is built (might be because it's Monday morning).

It has only one chainstay and one seatstay or something?

Something like this one.

Something like this one.

Ah, that makes sense now. Thanks.

@JesperXT an alternative version of spotters idea is to use a suitable lamp or computer bracket on the NDS chainstay, drill two holes through it and the mudguard and run a zip tie through. I did this on a frame with no chainstay bridge and it held up fine for a few years.

Like this

That's good

"DMR hinged clamp" + bolt + many spacers...

If the seattube diameter is correct for the clamp, that is.

I thought yours were MTB pull, if road I'm keen, will pm

I'll give @russmeyer s idea a shot. Will eliminate the need for massive spacers and a plastic bracket will be easier to put on an oval tube.

Pretty much exactly like that. Nineties paintjob, gumwalls and rack.

I'm guessing it wasn't meant as a 650 drop bar. Was it originally an MTB?

EDIT: It might be this: http://www.contoura.de/modelle/brandmeister-randonneur/
'Trekking' bike rather than MTB. Either way I like it.

Yeah it's a proper german trekking frame. Not the original forks though. Got the frame new for like 50 quid. Might bring it on a longer tour next year.

thats smart, will see if i can hit me up with something like that for my pre-curse (should've gotten the fxe yes)

Yeah, have seen that. Would need 6-7cms of spacers :)

I've used portions of old tent tubing as spacers, very tidy.

What @withered_preacher says!

Bottle cage adapter thing with long bolt and spacer.

Anyone got a shimano trigger shifter barrel adjuster knocking around? Went to fit a deore 10 speed that's been in the bottom of the bin for years and it's gone walkies...

Arkose gravel/commuter project on the go. Frame to be painted silver like the fork and built with Rival 22.
