Thanks, Esteban! I have the Berthouds installed--had to do a bit of surgery (dremels are awesome!) to fit the rear fender between the chaistays, and trim the Daruma bolt to clear the front tire, but it was otherwise pretty straightforward. Of course, I'm running 38mm tires, not 42's, so there's a bit more clearance to work with.
I just haven't managed to bring myself to drill holes in them for a mudflap yet! Your wet shoes speak volumes, though--I'll have to have a crack at it.

I'll take photos later this week and talk more about installation. The front fit much better than the 50mm Honjos, but when I installed the rear, the wheel wouldn't move at all. I realized that I had stretched out the fender and upon doing so, tightened the width. Berthouds NEED a mudflap. I can testify to that after yesterday, if my shoes ever dry out. More soon on that.
