Commuter

I just bought a pair of full on Planet Bike fenders for the Univega this weekend at Momentum. The front fender went on like a breeze, only to be followed by cursing during the attempted installation of the rear. Turns out that Univega wasn't satisfied using wimpy 4 mm tapped holes for their rear fender mounts, but preferred beefy 6 mm units to keep the fender rock solid. After some digging, I finally came up with some relatively short bolts, added some washers, and bolted up the rear fender. Here it is in all of its fendered glory. Cyclocross tires are on their way........

Wow, the bike looks pretty hot. However, not as sexy as the blue Trek in the background. ;)

Wow. That's looking like a hot setup. Just need a longer stem and it will rock.
