I am intending on adding 45mm fenders to this bike. I was about to pull the trigger on a set of Velo Orange 45mm silver fenders until two unknown options presented themselves. I have a Raleigh Competition as my go-fast bike with no fenders, 28mm tires, etc. so this one will be more along the lines of a comfortable, dry ride.
Option 1 - Origin 8 classic silver hammered fenders. These are basically copies of Velo Orange hammered fenders but at $52 instead of $68. I have the 35mm Velo Orange version on my Peugeot PX-10 and liked them once I got the rattles down to an acceptable level.
Option 2 - Handsome Cycles copper fenders at $70. These would certainly match the bike but I have to wonder if it would be too much matchy matchy. What are your thoughts?
