If something jams in the fender, the stays just pop out of these little plastic fittings, somewhat reducing the chance that your wheel will lock and you'll pull a header. The black thing with "SKS" on it is a piece of plastic into which the fender stays are press-fitted. It works quite well, although, as you can see, I first thought about mounting the zip ties higher on the fork (note the tape) but they sort of shifted to the bottom, and work better there anyway. Here's the front fender attachment to the fork blades using zip ties. I've recently taken some detail pics that might help folks who are trying to get fenders to work on a bike without any eyelets. I didn't need the shifters, and couldn't fit the bells to my handlebars (the clamps are too small, they're designed for Japanese schoolkid bikes), so here they are! Jitensha Studios of Berkeley CA carries bells that are very much like these, that they say will thread onto downtube shifter bosses. Yes, those bells are threaded the same as standard downtube shifters. I got it for a good price, modified it for a fixed gear, and have been commuting on it for almost a whole year now. It had sat un-used in the corner of Slough's Bike Shop in San Jose for all those years. It's a 1984 Bianchi Professional that I bought new last year (Sept '98). Each little pic is linked to a 1024x768 big pic. My Fixed Gear Bike Well, we just got a digital camera at work, (a Sony Mavica FD88) and I'm supposed to give a demo on it, and it has this cool "Email" feature where it makes a 320x240 JPEG mini version of each regular sized picture you take, which would make for perfect thumbnails, so I took some pics of my fixed gear (the nicer bikes are at home) and here they are.
