• @russmeyer hey! sorry to revive an older thread (4 months ago was last update) but had a quick question about what type of fenders you used, type/size? and how did you go about attaching on front fork with rack, i tried zooming in but couldn't quite see in the pic. i have a similar 80s frame im doing a conversion to 650b, it's a nishiki tri-a, very similar in geometry as yours, and has no braze ons for fenders or racks since it was a racey racey bike. thanks dude, great build, very inspired by yours!

  • Hey Diego, thanks. I used 40 mm wide Gilles Berthoud mudguards, 650b specific ones but I'm sure you could make other types fit. The fork has eyelets so that's where the stays and rack attach, the rear mudguard stays are attached to the QR via some things I got from my LBS. Can take pics for you but am away for new year's, back in a week or so. Let's see some pics of your project!
