I'm really torn. I'm very tempted to get the single 1UP for the exact reason you listed and buy a second section when I have more free funds, but I plan on putting fenders on my Gunnar, and from what I can tell, that would probably be a no go. Yet, I have a Kirk coming in late Spring, and the last thing I want to do is worry about the paint, and I would. Right now I have a Saris Bones, and on the very first time I put my Gunnar on, it damaged the decals on the seat tube.
