Anto,
Here's a range of fenders (mudguards) to take your mind off your tum:

Then again, if it's a dream bike & you're using Grand Bois tires, then cost is no object (!!??) & you need a set of these to match your tires: http://www.compasscycle.com/fenders.html
I've used the VO alloy fenders on my Raven for a year now, and they're very good indeed, and reasonably priced too. Very long, so lots of coverage.
Good luck!
-
VO fenders are class especially the hammered ones .thanks John this dream build is getting better all the time. ;)
what is the name of those feckin lights im thinking of primium range :-\
-
Busch and Muller Luxos is the one that'll charge up your electronic goodies. Or you could splurge and get a Schmidt Edelux and a Plug. After all, you just won the lottery!
-
Bush n muller thats the one i was trying to think off ;D ;D
so the schmidt is better i thought the primium BnM was the dog's.. ;)

I had the BandM but the housing corroded and paint flaked. I now have a plug III and edelux II. If it's a dream bike I would go for the edelux/plug.

right so i'll add that to me list. ;)
