Fenders.
I have seen mid 70's Singer race bikes, this is not.
Heck, you are in a region where fenders are even sensible.
hmmm...
according to Olivier at Singer, this was sold new as a bare frame to Angel Rodriguez, the frame builder, in 1976, to be built with all Campagnolo, in Seattle. Having grown up in Seattle, we never put fenders on a full Campagnolo NR bike in the 1970’s. We saved the fenders for bikes with triples, Duopars, Suntour or maybe a Rally.
