Cock-up #2 - mudguards
Given that the existing front mudguard was a nasty plastic replacement for the original, and the rear mudguard has a smashed rear dynamo light casing, I decided to buy new mudgards.
Hollandbikeshop have run out of stock, so I got some closely matching ones off ebay instead. They're silver, but my plan is to spray them gloss black (hopefully with gold detailing, as per the originals).
Trouble is, they turned up with broken stays. Poor ebaying on the part of the seller. Fortunately the stays are available seperately, and I've got one.
The next problem is that the front mudguard is too wide to fit between the front forks. I'll need to cut some notches out (or possibly just do some metal-bending) before respraying.
