I bought one of those fenders a few years back. The shop guy who sold me on it (hi Rick!) told me ~ “sure it’s ugly, but you never see it while you’re riding.”
That’s not true of course. You see it in the faces of your fellow trail travellers. Right after mounting it the visual reactions from strangers made me wonder if I had dog poop on my chin!
On first seeing it, two of my friends who are French-French made faces like they’d just seen The Predator and then stopped calling me for rides!
