The colour is a bit ........ purple. That front mudguard mount needs to be lowered as it looks a bit daft like that. Sorry! Otherwise it's a nice bike. I might be getting a Troll soon, but orange (2012) or black (2013).
Yes, Crankarm, the front fender is coming down. That pic was a preliminary fit. Those forks are made for all kinds of wheels, big to fat. It's the beauty of the Troll. Unfortunately the hardware with the fender did not include enough to get it down where it needs to be. Will find some more hardware to do the job. Will post another pic when I get it all set up, Freeload racks included.
I can't say enough good things about the Troll. What a bike! braze-ons for everything: Rohloff hub, racks, fenders, a trailer, you name it. I even have a set of bottle cage mounts on the front forks that will go unused because I won't be able to fit a water bottle in there while running a front rack, so I'm going to make a small tool tube (split PVC pipe? split bamboo?) to bolt in place. Front forks are the perfect place for tools: low and up front.
