These tires with this frame colour are great!
Saddle post and stem look a little bit short, did you try also one size smaller?
As it's terrible muddy and wet here the last two months I also tried fenders on my Evo Creo. But if you go really offroad it's more pain than help. The mud sticks between fenders, tires and frame and several times the wheels were not spinning anymore/I had to carry the bike where I would have passed without founders. The last weeks in the same mud without fenders I received a little bit more dirt at my shins and and my back, but nothing more, most of it is covered from the wide down tube and a saddle bag like yours.

Yes, for road use (even more allday or commuting) with a lot of rain fenders are fine!You are right , actually it is not my size . I did not want to wait 6 months and bought this size from stock
I already had some suited battery lights before the Creo and I don't use it very often in the dark, just in the free time.
But I remember I saw pictures or videos, where someone installed lights on the Creo. But I don't remember where, here, in a german forum or just on youtube. I remember that you have to remove the control unit in the upper tube, then you can reach the cable&plug for the light and push this out of the second hole in the frame. Something like this...
