They are usually easy to find on Amazon and ebay, but the wider the tyre you use, the sider the fender needs to be. And there is a lot of clearance on your bike, but it's not unlimited. With 27" wheels on there (and I personally like 27" wheels), you probably need to do some measuring, with the tires mounted first.

Or you can work backward, mount the fenders, and then measure to decide the biggest tire you can run with them. SKS-Germany Blue Mels Reflective Bicycle Fender Set

If you have zero experience with mounting fenders on a road bike, you might want to go someplace for some experienced help.
Thanks for all the information on the fenders. Unfortunately I already bought some but I haven't installed them yet. Here's what I bought. https://www.rivbike.com/products/sks...2&_ss=e&_v=1.0
I have zero experience with fenders but I'm a building contractor so I'm pretty handy. We'll see how it goes! It may very well end up at the bike shop, lol.
