Did you get the proper short-reach brake levers? They sent the wrong levers with mine - and apparently it is a common mistake Surly makes when shipping the smaller frames.

I need to get fenders and a rack for my boy as well - please post your final choice for the fenders. I am going to discuss this with my LBS, and need to find a decent rack that won't weigh 3 lbs but be strong enough for what I would realistically carry. I have a very stripped down budget for such things right now...
