Yeah, it's a bit of a jarring contrast! I'm sure it will acquire tasteful fades in the future if I get the frame modded
It's not so much the length of the guards, but the width, I originally bought these planning for 38-42c tyres, not monster 2.3s! There's barely coverage on the back tyre. Gilles Berthoud sell the fenders on their own without any fitting hardware so it's not a huge pain to switch down the line.

This looks bang on! Although I do love the Raleigh paint, it is screaming for something a little more sympathetic as it's built. Mudguards will probably be OK at that length as long as you have decent flaps. Seems daft outlying for another set at the price PX were doing them.
