Fenders:

- Why I like them: aerodynamic advantage, look nice, 10 minutes of rain can spoil your ride without fenders - Which ones: Honjo. Lighter than plastic, don't rattle, look nicer, more coverage. Second choice: stainless from France (always shiny, indestructible). Third choice, if you live in a dry place with only occasional rain: Berthoud carbon. Not much lighter, but they fit close-coupled racing bikes. - How to mount: Vintage Bicycle Quarterly No. 2 had an article with photos. It's important to do it right, otherwise, they won't last.

A future article in VBQ will compare different fenders...
