Bruce Thanks. Yes the Ram is a 650 conversion which was pretty easy given the long reach brake calipers. I've had this bike for approximately 10 years now, and it has had many different set ups. The Ram is better on gravel as the tires are 42s with 35s on the Legolas and with the BB is a bit

Thanks Rich, Jason and Scott. I’m impressed with the sturdiness of these VO fenders, and that they supplied all the leather washers (plus extras). They don’t rattle a bit, and, in combination with the 2” G-Ones, fit like a glove with plenty of coverage. As for the G-one Speeds, it’s weird;

I’m running a similar setup on a 59 Clem with large fluted VO fenders and tubeless Cazadero 50mm tires. The tires pick up small pebbles sometimes which makes a small tinking sound (I prefer silence) but other than that I’m very happy w the setup. Super solid feel and a joy to ride.

Agree, that's one of the best looking Clem's I've seen! Beautiful. I am really surprised how many Clems are set up without fenders - not only does the Clem look a lot better with fenders imo, I also think they are a requirement for any "everyday" type of bike.. but then again, it rains here
