Instead of Bluemels why not the SKS Longboard in 45mm? Just mounted a set myself and while it was a bit fiddly I expect any sort of mudguard installation to be similar. For that price point (22,99€ at bike24) the (visual ... it didn't rain yet) coverage, especially at the front wheel, seems to be excellent. Currently running some 32c Vittoria Zaffiros.

The old bike got more and more functional.
And here it is with a 32c front tire to cushion the ride with the additional load up front.
Edited the post thank you @platypus for letting me know.

Plans are:
- Change dropouts of the frame for modern ones
- Add disc brake mounts
- Stretch to 135mm
- Readjust brake bridge to allow for bigger tires and installation of mudguards
- 2 more bottle cage mounts
- Add pump holder
- Mudguard mounts
- Maybe rear rack mounts
Build list:
- Change 6700 RD vs RD-M772 to allow up to 34 teeth in the back
- New wheel set for discs with dynamo up front
- Son Edelux front and rear
- Spyers
- Nitto front rack
- Randonneur Bag
It will be a bit of a slow burner because the plan is to only have one bike and the modifications to the frame should take a while and are planned for wintertime. In the meantime with the long reach Shimano brakes I can already enjoy the new forks :)

Huff real life took over for quite a while but the project gained some momentum albeit in a little different direction. Clearance for bigger tires became also one of the biggest concerns for me therefore the Cad was sold and another frame I had lying around will be the new act of this project.
On another note the fork from Orlowski arrived and man I am impressed by the craftsmanship.
The plan is to send him the frame for some modifications later on and maybe back stepping to a true classy 1" quill stem disc tourer. I started with this
and I am now here
Nah ordered it with the rear brake bridge and the cable routing on the right side. Just had my dad weld some more material to the dropouts to drill some holes for the mudguard placement.
