If the brake bridge and the chainstay bridge are equidistant from the dropouts, the fender will make a nice, even arc.<BR/><BR/>That's a problem I've seen in Rivendell frames. For some reason, Rivendell insists on placing that chainstay bridge farther away from the dropouts, forcing you to put a spacer between fender and bridge to achieve a proper arc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-46795130093261860002008-06-11T00:58:00.000-04:002008-06-11T00:58:00.000-04:00Nice profile, looks like it's made specifically to...Nice profile, looks like it's made specifically to accept pinstriping or other paint in the "valleys"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-46623996686121413542008-06-10T20:21:00.000-04:002008-06-10T20:21:00.000-04:00The best looking VO fender yet!
