What reservations? Here are the issues regarding the bike: http://janheine.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/does-my-bike-take-fenders/ I don't know about the Hilsen. I do know that some other Riv frames have had serious issues regarding the chainstay bridge distance being far too large, making it very hard to achieve a good fender line. I know that on my Saluki there was insufficient clearance at the chain stays to fit a 58mm wide (that's the widest size) Honjo, so I had to trim the fender, as can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/97916047@N00/sets/72157617915097787/show/ Assuming the bike presents no major problems, the biggest issue is that mounting Honjos takes patience and cannot be hurried. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
