Pinnacle Lithium 3 - Space for mudguards/pannier

I'm a cycling newbie and I'm thinking of buying a second hand Pinnacle Lithium 3 but the seller isn't sure if i'd be able to put mudguards and a pannier on the back.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows if that would be possible? thank you

    You'd need some more info like what year it is for starters, as the spec and frame design can change from year to year.


    If it's not close enough to view, ask for close up pictures on both sides of the area at the bottom of the front forks, and the rear stays, as well as the inside of each, as on some bikes now they put the mounting points on the inside.


    I suspect if you had an accurate year it was made, you may well be able to find out some relevant info online, I see quite a few people saying they are using them as tourers and commuting bikes - commuting usually indicated guards, and or rack fitting.


    A word of warning, Evans are now part of the fraser group, hence owned by the same people who run sports direct, so don't expect anything useful or helpful from them should you have any queries.

    They were never very good to be fair, but it would still have been much better than where it is now.
