Lovely bike. What size are the fenders? I am looking to get some for my straggler and wanted to get the biggest which will fit inside.

great reasons in going blackwalls. from your build & attention to detail, I figured you had specific reason & your reply is so true for what you've built. two thumbs up.
also, the Holdsworth, nothing to really think about when you can get a double-bolt seat post for $20-25. great job all around using smart buys that are effective

such a motivating build, I absolutely dig it! curious on why you chose the blackwall Barlow's & the quality of the Holdsworth seat post. please continue updating this bike, it's a slick utilitarian randonneur

Thank you my friend! I'm glad you share my bike vision!
I chose the black walls for a couple of reasons - 1 being that with the glitter paint of the frame and the shiny fenders the bike was getting pretty bling and the addition of skin walls might take it over the edge. 2. Everyone has skin walls now... #makeblackwallsgreatagain
The holdsworth post is great! Machined really well and seems very strong. 100% worth 20 quid.
