The VO fenders look great and are NOT that hard to install."

Tony Adams 6.6 mi replied to dan brown's discussion 'Fender recommendations'"I can heartily NOT recommend the Soma Fab fenders.

I'm not sure if their construction is the same as other SKS fenders, but standard SKS fenders can be almost absurdly resilient. I had an unfortunate roof rack / garage incident last week that…"

Anne said… Hi Dan, sorry i just now saw your comment.
We have a small contingent at crits, Cat 4/5 and Masters, and another crowd that mainly race at Northbrook. Our Sunday Ride is open to all, feel free to join in and meet some of the guys. We meet at Grove and Sherman in Evanston at 9am. There is a Yahoo! Group for the Turin Sunday Ride too.

- Hi Dan,
Thanks for the comment.
I usually ride by myself. I would be open to something, what do you have in mind? My usual Prairie Path bike is a Serotta CSI, not the PX10. I just returned from a 30 or so mile on the PP, GWT, and a small part of the SCGT.
However, I usually ride the PX10 during the 3 big Chicago rides, Bike The Drive, LATE Ride, and BLT. Did you do the first two rides this year?
Don
