i certainly havent added any value.. but i did it for the experience .. and its kept me away from the boozer a little.
its not been my first build. or even my first fixie build.
i did give the rear mudguard holes some thought and with it being track ended so to speak i guessed it would make getting the rear wheel out harder having mudguards fitted. ?? thye are certainly needed in this country as you say as i got totally soaked coming home from night shift the other morning,, but if im honest it was my front legs and feet that got more wet..
i dont mind getting caught out with a rain storm and plan to only really ride it on nicer days. i do have a 84 raleigh with guards on for wet days. and winter commutes.
