    No, no, cuz it's still on topic! Fenders! Really! (ok, maybe my fabulous abs are a bit off topic, but it does harken back to the original fender thing. Dontcha think?)

    Buddy Flaps

    http://www.buddyflaps.com/mudflapgirl.htm


    They're a Seattle company if I recall. The flaps fit on the bottom of your standard fenders. There's a bike club in Seattle that requires them on their race-pace rides (not the ones with the girls, but any buddy flaps).

    heck - I was going to offer to give you a buddy flap for free. I still have probably 1/2 a dozen around from the winter. I seemed to always get stuck behind the person without a buddy flap on all of my team's winter training rides so I made a whole bunch and started handing them out. You'd have to settle for the girl done in black sharpie though....

    That would be me.

    Ha ha! Now we just gotta get 'em to make the "sporty girl" version of the girlie flap. They do custom orders....

    No web searching

    I've got Buddy Flaps. Found them through a friend in Seattle. Apparently I was the first purchase outside the Seattle area. And no, I didn't get the girls, but I did get a set of the girls for my favorite mechanic.

    Oh, and they're reflective too!

    Buddy flaps (with or without pinup) are an absolute necessity on winter paceline. There's so much stuff flying from the rear wheel, and no fender goes low enough to prevent the flying from happening. So the flaps (which I make out of water bottles) are a safety item, because all that stuff flying can be quite dangerous on winter roads...

    Grog "So the flaps (which I make out of water bottles)...."

    How do you do that? Other than recycle them I never know what to do with old, yucky water bottles.
