I have Berthoud stainless steel fenders at my everyday commuter and would rate them more durable than Esges or SKS plastic fenders. But they might be hard to attach to your frame because of the unusual eylet position. It's complicated enough to install them even with a frame designed for them. The main advantage of the french metal fenders is that they will never rattle or break when attached without bending them or their stays.

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)?
