Don't worry about accenting the e... :-) I actually drilled the hole in the fender, as mine (purchased from VO) didn't have it. You have a very nice Bombadil setup, I'm wondering whether I should plan to put fenders in mine when I get it next week, or rather not run fenders since I plan to take it off-road and actually try mountain biking with it.
I'll start a separate thread, but you can bet I'm going to be reviewing your Bombadil setup in more detail... :-) René On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 2:43 PM, Marty <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice rig Rene!
