Karen..I have plastic fenders on both my bikes...and they are almost invisible, work really well and weigh nothing....I was also surprised to read that they are Grant Peterson's favorite fenders...the SKS plastic...
That is a beautiful bike and I wouldn't put anything BUT black fenders on it...I think the wood would look too heavey...but then, I don't like those wood fenders....I just don't think wood is the best material for the job...
and they are overpowering...IMNSHO
Look at my JA...it has the black plastic SKS fenders...which work really well.
