    I agree ladies, Fern would be drop dead gorgeous with some cherry and mahogany fenders! Maybe some day when she's not commuting with me... my dad's a woodworker, so I know he'd make her some gorgeous one of a kind shoes, but for now just going to have to give her some extra chrome. I'd love some brass-colored fenders- that would be sweet too!

    Ooooooooh, look at these!!! http://store.somafab.com/tabrtrfe.html

    It's hard to explain the aesthetic. It's like mixing silver and gold jewelry (which I'm wearing right now so ... ).

    I just feel with the rich green and subtle gold with either chrome or brass it's just going to clash.

    OTOH hand hammered copper just might work, warm enough to enhance the gold.

    My vote is if you want something not so thief drool magnet worthy get plain black plastic fenders. But why uglify this gorgeous bike? This is a beautiful beautiful bike and remodel, there's nothing can hide that. So why not make Fern as beautiful as she can be?

    Enjoy your bike, ride lots and inspire others when they see how gorgeous a customized bike can be.

    Just keep her locked, in your sight, or under your @zz.
