The polar opposite to Tewdric's bike in terms of elegance, but since the Inbred has been cleaned for the first time in its life, here's how the mudguards are attached.
New Wipperman anti-rust chain and the longest layback seatpost available:
This is an Elite strap-on bottle cage boss round the rear wishbone, with a piece of square-section aluminium to drop down and bolt onto the mudguard bridge. The extra bit of metal sticking up is just there to prevent the plastic strap of the boss pinging out of its ratchet - it's normally held in place by a bottle cage, you see.
As there's no chainstay bridge (track ends - don't need one) another Elite boss is strapped around the base of the seat tube. This time I used a very long M5 bolt inside some tubular aluminium, with two penny washers around the mudguard to stop it cracking.
The front fork has suspension-corrected geometry so there is a loooong drop to the tyre. All that's needed here is some square-section aluminium.
And this shot is just for Clarion, because of the head badge. The BBB Headspace bell is quite neat.
When the frame gets rusty and manky I'll have proper bottle bosses brazed on - probably one under the wishbone and one at the base of the seat tube. I'll also have the f&f done in 2-pack tango orange
