When it's done
. Patience now !
But since it is planned to be a Gruber it won't look much different
. It will have a 48-36-24 chainset, though.
>Also just bought a pair of 32c Schwalbe Marathons that I need to put on bit don't fancy the job of wrestling them onto the rims.
I run Supremes partly because I can almost put them on with my fingers
.
Depending on the Marathons you refer to, this (or a crowbar) may be useful! The cable tie tip to hold on the bit that wants to come off again is very good.
Being a bit less flippant, the space between the wheel and the seatpost is *tight* for a full mudguard.
I run larger tyres than you plan - 37mm Marathon Supremes, and my LBS managed to finesse an SKS Chromoplastic rear mudguard on. For winter riding though it became badly clogged (just too little clearance) and needed hosing out each ride. Your 32mm tyres may be OK.
So I took it off as shown in the pic and replaced it with a beaver tail mudguard, and then installed a Crud type mudguard on back of the seatpost (cut it to fit with snips or scissors), which protects the back of my legs very well.
