I just put the same 700x55 fenders on my LT GV201 running 48c Thunderos. It's tedious, but worth it. For the seat stay bridge I used the Specialized fender bridge part #S182200001 that clamps around the seattube.

Lovely looking bike. Love that mauve colour with the golden bolts.

I hunted high and low for a suitable bridge solution, but didn’t come across that one. I’m currently using a strip of rubber off a Garmin handlebar mount taped to the top of the mudguard blade to prevent it from knocking against the seat stays, which works well, but I think your mount is a more elegant solution.

A bike with full length fitted mudguards - best thing I ever did for winter riding 

Now with full length PDW 55s. Winter is coming! 

Although this frame has mounting points galore, for full fenders, there isn't anything to anchor the top of the rear mudguard between the seatstays. For stability, there is usually a way to fasten the guard to either a permanent or removable bridge between the stays. In an ideal world, the manufacturer would supply us with a bridge that can span the seatstays and be attached to the M5 bolts that are there. Does anyone know of anything that can be used in this case?

See here for example of bridge supplied with Vitus Venon:



I suppose you could rig something up with one or two cable ties, but it would be nice to have a more refined solution that was available off the shelf or could be 3d printed.

Definitely not 54

I've just completed the build of my Tideace Noah. I opted for a custom paint job and it took 26 days from ordering to delivery in the UK, which is pretty rapid. I'm still waiting on Lexon integrated gravel bars from AliX, so I've used a standard stem and bars for now, which look fine with the cables routed through the supplied headset cover. Complete weight with cages, computer/radar mounts, PM pedals and sealant is 8.6kg. The 54 frame with hanger and mounting bolts was 1350g and the fork was 430g.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the frame, parts, paint and finishing. Everything went together smoothly and the build was trouble free.

I've gone for a 2x build to use parts I already had and because range and spacing is still superior to 13-speed XPLR. I was worried about FD and frame clearance, so I bought a Wide AXS crank and FD, which provides 5mm clearance from FD battery with 50 mm WAM tyres. but it looks like I would have gotten away with a standard crank and FD with about 2.5 mm of clearance from the tyre. Frame clearance with standard 46/33 chainset was fine too, so the wide crank is only beneficial for tyres measuring 48 mm or more.

I may splash out on new E1 levers as I'm used to them on other bikes, but for now, I'm running with old Force D1 shifters and calipers, Rival D1 derailleurs, and a Force D2 43/30 wide chainset.

Wheels are the super-wide Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel (40e/32i/45d) shod with 48mm Tufu Thundero HD tyres.

Stem (90mm) and bars (36mm) are Prime carbon.

Saddle is cheap Elita one.

BB is ZTTO T47i.

Rotors are Zrace 160 CL.

Cassette is Goldix Ultralight 10-36 XDR.

Cages are AliX titanium.

Pedals are Garmin Vector 3.

Seat post and headset are stock.

I've only had a brief scoot around my street, so can't give ride impressions yet, but the bike doesn't feel as long as I thought it might and the 54 with 90 mm stem fits me well (178 cm tall 85 cm inseam).
