People figure it out, either when they break it, decide to paint it, or, like I did, cleaning the bike up. It just felt wrong.

At least we still have honest to God metal fenders,

Yep, the first week I had it it got lots of attention wherever I went.A guy at the bank came over & was walking around it, drooling, tho in a controlled fashion & thumped the front fender. He was shocked & pleased. Im pretty sure he went home & asked "mommy" if he could get one.
