Here's my alternate mounting job on a set of VO hammered on my Sanner. I'm too lazy to bend my stays around the disc caliper.

I'm a big fan of Bluemels though they can be awfully fragile and make for crappy fender lines:

Lightweights in white:


Lightweights in black:


Lightweights in red:


Airweight alloy:

Great thread. Keep them coming guys. I need more inspiration to get off my butt and get working on my latest project.

These are going on it.

A bike without fenders looks as naked as a car without a roof rack.

The Bluemels on my '54 Raleigh look better than the Bluemels on my '55... they hug those 700:32's quite nicely.



The fenders on my '57 Peugeot PLX8 are delicious...

Nice work

I agree. I have posted this before, but here it is again. BTW, I like lights, too.
