SS and/or alloy fenders hold up pretty well- they are much more rigid than plastic ones and if you add another set of stays it will further increase the rigidity of them. If you run into a car of course the fenders will be dented- along with the rest of the bike- but by and large they deflect most of the dings and toe clip catches you may experience.

And they look much cooler than plastic fenders.

It isn't a classic but I used up some old parts when I cobbled myself a new frame down in the basement .. http://home.nycap.rr.com/richboat/conchdone.jpg The black fenders and plastic toeclips have to go (I have gum Diacompe hoods ordered to replace the black shimano hoods) I have some black planet bike fenders on the bike but stainless steel would look better, My question is how easily damaged are the SS Berthoud fenders? Also, where can I find some extra large stainless steel toe clips( besides ebay)?
