    How can you build a bike like that, then disfigure it with mudguards.

    It should be an arrestable offense

    Nice one Old Git Surrey (you won't see my commuter till I've stuck my guards on-great parts from scrap bin but hideous Frankenstein job!)

    If Binners could see my winter trainer or hack/commuter he'd arrest me for abusive of bike building!

    Mudguards stop you having a mucky rear end when you get to work etc!

    You should see the Tortec with reflective go faster stripes! 😀

    Binners, riding in the rain = Mudguards are good! They're great, in fact.

    That Cannondale Duchess is a work of art.

    Commuter bikes without mudguards are pointless. Borrowed one of these in Copenhagen and it, well, rocked.

    😆 at the Dura Ace triple, Shimano/Campagnolo mix, meerkat stem spacers and discs on a road bike. All wrong.

    she ought to be careful, locking her arms out like that….

    Bet she has a suspension seatpost, with no saddle attached to it.

    Apparently the bike (Velorbis Dannebrog, or something) is overpriced sh1te!

    Hope she's not the same. 8)

    Is it me or does the frame in the OP have a really weird interface between top tube and head tube?

    I'm not that keen on it really… sorry 🙂

    very expensive gate
    tall people shouldn't be allowed to ride bikes, not in daylight anyway

    OP,

    If you have a Cyclelife, (Raleigh) store nearby, their full length mudguards are made by SKS, look exactly the same quality and manufacure but are about 1/2 the price. As modeled here. (thought a poor view of them I'll grant you, sorry if you've seen this before)

    I'm not a huge fan of the extended headtube either. If you like that, then you may like this.

    mine's clearly the nicest* 🙂

    Sorry but the bike in the OP just looks terrible. Extended headtube AND pointy-uppy stem? I don't think so. Dura-ace triple, straight forks and discs? Could not be further from nice if it tried.

    djglover's is more like it, whereas flatboy's is closer to the reality of commuting (at least my reality)!
