That's not just the owner's opinion. That's a wonderful bike for a ride in the fall for a 1970's advert. Lovely load of organic colors. But, my reason to say so is to encourage a few more clicks for Woody's Fenders.

Not only nice stuff, but pricing such as is possible only for direct sales. Even then, what a difference for little more than the price of two pairs of off-shore-sourced plastic fenders.

(Keen on Oregon, but unknown to Woody.)
