I got a quote for the axle and electric brakes. Between that, wheels, tires, fenders, steel, paint, lights and coupler, the frame will come in close to $2k. Probably a bit over that if you include the brake controller. The good news is that steel prices seem to have come down a good bit compared to last time I bought steel.
I am trying to figure out what size fender I need. Most fenders I see for 14"-15" wheels are 9" wide, which is about 1" wider than 205 tires, but only a little over 1/8" wider than 225s. Next size up in round fenders I found is 10 3/4" wide. How much wider than the tire does the fender need to be?
