I like mudguards that work
I'm...speechless 😯
Wot are those red things?
... on the handlebars 😈 ... are you using bar end inside your normal grips?
In years to come, will that ^^^^ 🙄 be seen in the same threads as the Paperclip bike? Quite possibly!
I knew I'd seen epicyclo's bike somewhere before.

First thing I looked for on epicyclo's bike was an engine!

Is that the bike from the Mint Sauce cartoons?

Does anyone put a mudguard on to look cool? No. They get up on to avoid soggy chamois and mud in the eye. Fashion police can hibernate when its wet SFAIAC.
I bet this guy put his on to look cool. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that...

My single speed winter bike doesn't look too bad.

Not mine but I do like this.
I was about to post epicyclo's bike, I think that looks bang on.
Mine looks better than this now it has a bender fender on the front...

There's a reason for everything on my bike. That's my winter and bog bike.
The barends aren't for holding - they are there so the bike is stable upside down if I have to remove a wheel. Makes life much simpler removing the wheel in the dark at subzero. (Lots of fiddly bits on drum brakes)
The mudguards keep crap off me in the warmer months. I know it's fashionable to have a dogshit and dung bespeckled face, but that's a fashion you can keep.
More importantly the mudguards keep slush and snow off me in winter. My rides are often several hours and keeping dry helps prevents hypothermia.
Luckily I don't have to suffer scorn from the cycling aesthetes when I'm riding because they don't seem to venture into the places I ride. 🙂
This is my summer bike.

Each to their own but I dislike being blathered with mud & crap.

I've never had a problem with mud guards, I'm not a fan of being covered head to toe in crap and mud...........
I don't think my ladies look too bad with their guards on.

Eh? Bike don't look good with guards, ever.
Guards are a (sometimes) necessary evil for riding in shite conditions.
Those portland design works ones look well sturdy, i presume they are bike specific tho...?

Donk -

Not that I'm aware but they are not cheap and had to fudge them on due to the bike having disc brakes... Very sturdy being alloy too!
The only bike that woukd look wrong without it's mudguard 😀
