Been meaning to ask, the Clementine is the first bike I have owned with the seat stay bridge having no brake or fender hole, but rather a hole that faces the ground. I assume I get the other two attachment points lined up, then drill a hole through the fender, and use a bolt with a flat head for the inside of the fender and whatever spacer required. Though I guess this way is more secure, ti seems less than ideal, and I almost would prefer the little clamp on bracket that I use on my other fendered bicycles.
