The fender looks really nice, and the cargo box is good too. The seat is a lot 
higher than mine, so he has room - not a lot of ground clearance though...
I also have added a small front "fender" to keep sand out of my lap. The most 
helpful part seems to be the shield between the pivot and brake caliper (white 
vinyl thing barely visible: http://www.rjs.org/gallery/electric_python.jpg) It 
is "C" shaped and conforms to the tire/rim closely, ~2mm clearance, keeping 
most dirt out of the pivot and my face. I had a rear fender before the new rack 
- I had found that my hair and neck got sand from the boardwalk.

I would also like to try the hammock-type seat too, vs. my padded model; 
probably a bit cooler.
The more I ride, the more I think I'd like to have a more upright seat position 
with lower seat bottom - about the same C.G., but would allow more gluteus use 
in pedalling.

I think that if I build again, it will be a faired streamliner. Not practical, 
but, I now have lots of practical bikes ;-)
