Looking forward to hearing about your fenders - is there anything against using Planet Bike fenders? They seems to have fenders that will fit 26 inch wheels - just wondering how noisy they might be.

They don't make any noise once you get them adjusted properly.

Thinking about getting fancy ones eventually, but really these are okay if you can get em' tweaked to your liking.

How pretty! Your bike is in a class all by itself.
And it looks pretty darn comfie with that stem too. As for the saddle, I had a Lithia 
and found that the average life expectancy is about 3 riding seasons. Just out of curiosity, have you tried the ladies Brooks Team Pro S or Finesse?
