One other thing I did when I had the Atlantis repainted was to add a set of fender bosses to the back of the fork blades about 4 or 5 inches above the dropout eyelets.
This seems to have stiffened the front fender mounting somewhat (it doesn't flex side to side as much), it certainly shorted the stays and it uncrowded the area around the dropout. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16951...@n08/4847125706/ I also went up one fender size (width) and it is much easier than fiddling around with tight clearances.
