in my experience the array of plastic fenders seem to be more constricting in
clearance and tire size. It seems as if, as evidenced here in this thread, that
aluminum fenders allow you to mount them closer to the frame with a profile
that allows for greater tire size with adequate clearance.

The reality about parts is this:
- you can fit a modern outboard bearing crank on a Riv. 68mm bb shells aren't

- rim brakes aren't going away.
- seatposts? Always there
- saddles are fine
- quills stems are produced constantly by several makers
- tires we have MORE of now than 10
