I've now got nearly all the parts for my 3 speed Soma San Marcos build!
Anybody know the largest fender this frame will fit? I'm thinking Velo Orange hammered fenders, but I'm not sure if I should go with the 37mm or the 45mm.
It'd be dreamy to run 32mm Paselas with fenders if I can get away with it.
(This is a 63cm and will wear Grand Compe 610 brakes, for what it's worth.)

45mm then. General rule of thumb is 10mm larger fender (or thereabout) than the tire you will run.

Yes, the 37s probably won't fit well over the 32s, but contact Riv to
make sure the Amos can take 45s, which it may not! Plastic fenders,
which I no longer prefer, do have the advantage of fitting over bigger
tires as they don't have rolled edges. So if the 45s don't fit, you
may have to go with a 40mm or so plastic.
