I didn't realize Soma has colored thermoplastic fenders until I perused the Sale section. Just purchased a set of whites, the description shows these as adjustable for 26" or 700c - that fitting range seems a bit broad to me but they're cheap enough to check out. I have some white Bluemels but I don't want to trim them to fit between the seat stays on the recently-completed Hobbs and if this works it should complete the look I'm after.

Pedal to the medal
Thanks for tip! I just bought several chains and lights, a few bells including a beautiful hand-painted iris bell for my better half.

They're not specific, but if they fit 700c and look right I'll probably spring for a 2nd set in red if the price isn't much different. The current $25 makes this a good experiment for me considering the going asks for vintage Bluemels even if in not-so-great condition. Would be nice if SKS would offer multi-colored versions in the US, but likely the demand is just not there hence the sale on these.

FWIW, Miyata tubular tape is on sale. I seem to be the only one using that brand around here. For the price, you may want to try it yourself.
