Fender Questions

Hi All,

I have recently acquired an 89 Nishiki Custom Sport road bike that I have converted to a single speed and I am using as my daily commuter. I realized a few days back that it does not have any braze-ons, or eyelets for things such as fenders or a rack. Also it has 27 1 1/4 wheels, which do not leave very much space at all--maybe enough room for a finger--between the tire and the brakes.

So has anyone else delt with this sort of problem before? Also I noticed on Velo Orange that they have a set of 37mm polished aluminum fenders...would those work on this bike? If pics are needed that will be fine, I plan on taking some eventually anyway.

Thanks for your comments...

Oh and I went with SS for the ease of keeping parts clean during the winter months...and to try something new...in case you were wondering.
