Does anyone have one of these?

If so have you fitted mudgaurds to it, which ones are they and what size tyres are you running? I'm looking at a discounted SL2 but want to be able to fit full mudguards and have heard that while it has mudguard mounts the Giant mudgaurds won't fit to it?

    The contend is similar to the geometry of the Aluxx Defy, but with the TCR rear triangle. I doubt if you can fit full type SKS P35 type mudguards to it there will not be enough clearance between the fork legs/underside of the brake caliper, same for the rear brake caliper. Are you sure the Giant brand rim brake mudguards don't fit?

    I can see that there may be a problem with the rear guard were it fixes to the back of the D-Fuse seatpost, now that the chain stays are shorter though but.
