  • That will be very similar to what I'm aiming for, but with flat swept bars. What size are those tyres and how did you get on with mudguard fitting please?
    I just ordered some of these:

    which I may use or some Jones H bend...

    @Turkish i've had enough of my CDF now, front wheel got written off after I got hit by a car, so I've decided to strip it for parts and sell the f&f. For a start the Vagabond as much bigger HT which is better for me. This build is really more of a better fitting version of my Scott mtb conversion, with 29x2" instead of 27.5x2"

    think these kind of vibes

    @amey @cake funnily enough, I don't like the colour much either.

  • Those are panaracer gravelling sk 43mm and pdw 45mm guards. Tight but fits! Will probably go with 38 or 40mm tyres next time.

    Not that easy to fit as the bridges are still quite far from the tyre. ended up using p-clips and bodging. Fit is perfect in the front with the thorn touring fork though!

  • Do you get much side-spray with mudguards so close in size to the tyres?

  • Im going to be using 2"/50mm tyres so it would move the guards closer. I think I'll also get the bridges modified to with an eyelet in each so making fitting things a tad easier too.
    Out of interest why did you change forks?
