Beachbead, it's good thinking, coz some machines would, after taking off a screw seeming small and unnecessary.
Grazias for the picture.
Or maybe you are right, because during the manufacturing cycle, there sometimes are added details, which are e.g. for upper/lower class versions of the product, and sometimes are useless.
Maybe there were few versions of this guard?
Anyway, I remeber 20 years ago i had similiar bike, and had the spare screw in the same place (low inner corner of the frame).

P.S. Have you noticed using this beauty-sailorgirl again, after playin' also in Hellfire?
It's not the first time in MacGyver ( I've noticed 3 other guys, and here on MacGyverOnLine.com you wrote about some women).
Of course not speaking of Andy Colton.
