Oh boy, I have a 60cm frame on the way. This is going to be my first 
Rivendell and I'm excited.

Nice! Thanks. I just replaced all the white zip ties with orange. But that 
looks better.

Love the Cheviot!  I recently discovered a way to discreetly secure the 
dyno wiring.  You might look at this instead of zip ties.

So i just got through with an interaction with Soma folks over these fenders. 
It went as well as you would expect. Apparently Free Range and the mechanic who 
worked on mine both did it wrong and the installation is to blame not the 
fenders. The example installation on their own blog post was also incorrect but 
it didnt count because they didnt have a rack installed yet. "I guess its too 
much to ask our customers to have commin sense" was in the discussion as well. 
I pretty much hate my brand new Soma now and wish i could return the whole damn 
thing.

No shit. Who on earth decided that was a good idea? I rode down a curb last 
night and the front fender scraped. Not cool. I'm taking them to Aaron's 
and getting them moved. I'll stick a Rat City Bike Shop sticker over the 
hole and be done with it.

Note to self: GIVE UP on the metal fenders. I should have stuck to my guns 
& demanded SKGs. I didn't because, hey, they were nice, they didn't rattle, 
and they were already on the bike.

I had a particularly horrific experience with a Trek bike several years ago 
(the "Belleville" BSO). Noisiest fenders ever, and apparently most of them 
arrived dented.

They did not pull the fenders off. They are still on the bike. I pretty 
much hate the fenders. Every pebble, bit of gravel, grain of sand makes a 
very irritating noise. To date, the metal fenders on my 40 year old Raleigh 
Sports and the metal fenders on my Retrovelo are the only ones I have not 
replaced with plastic. These will probably go too.
