Ok,

The recent thread on shortie fenders brings up the question, whats the deal here?

I have a set split across my quasi on topic track bike and on a tiny girls bike that I made fit me (for racing on, photos at the link in the sig).

I never quite figured out what they were intended for. Their curve is wrong for kids bikes, but they really only keep your thighs dry, but not your knees or buttocks. I guess they sort of save the saddle bag some spray, is that it?

I have a nice set of red bluemel shorties that I am saving for something good (or terrible), but have no idea what.

Later

Tarik
