For Sale: Wooden Mudguards (/fenders)

Hullo.
Have just started making a small range of wooden mudguards. At the moment, the range is very small - limited to two lengths, two woods (ash and oak - sourced from managed, mature woodland in Devon), and 3 fixings and all finished in a secret weatherproof oil blend(!) - but in the new year I'm hoping to extend this to include full sets in a bigger variety of woods, styles, finishes and fixings.

At present I have 25 guards for sale, all for rear wheels. They attach to the brake bridge, and work with or without a brake in place.

Ultimately hoping to sell these for £20-£25, but happy to give a forum discount.
Because I'm still perfecting the design of these, if anyone who buys one now encounters a problem, I'll be happy to exchange them for a v2 down the line.

I'm in E5 Clapton/Stoke Newington, but will be able to meet some days in zones 1/2.

Any questions suggestions or comments appreciated.

Nice, but what about frames without drilled brake bridge?

^ A p-clip fixed to the bridge would do as a mount I'd imagine.

Ey up.
These are lovely.
Well played.
Where are you based?
I'd love to ride over to you and pick one out if you're in London?

Any plans to do something for the front, or can these be adapted?

P-clip for an undrilled bridge should work - though it's untested at present and I don't know how the clip would hold up long-term...need to do a trial.

In the new year I'm gonna start working on designs for full sets (including stays) as well as these - if anyone has any bright ideas on where to source stays and/or brackets for the stays I'd be keen to hear.

Hopefully should be able to offer a range of two or three styles of guard, in two or three different woods, potentially with some inlaying as well, though this will take some time to perfect.

As for front guards - these could be adapted, but I think they'd benefit from stays and/or a slightly tighter curve to them...but working on it!

Thanks for that.
Based in E5, between Clapton and Stokie. Will be in Brixton and Elephant and Castle tomorrow though so could meet you somewhere if that's easier....

I would take one. Just need to see if I could get it to fit around my cantilevers

I'm out of the country at the minute, how's your Thursday looking?

Tested on one bike with cantis - it worked fine using one with the bracket mounted on top of the guard.

Thursday daytime doable; busy later but might be fairly central...

PM incoming.

In that case, yes please!

Hi mate, I would love to grab a smaller one and try it out if that's possible? Am London based and can meet most days. Thanks! Adam

Cool. PM me to arrange.

In case anyone wants one for/before Christmas, I will be out of London from Saturday PM.

You came in the shop before Christmas and I tried to buy some off you. I still want them. I also have some ideas for stays and fittings. You can email me on stuartkeates@gmail.com or call my mobile on 07795 816840.
