What about the Grand Bois "Cerf" 28s? This is my "go-fast" bike but I'm thinking of doing my first 200k brevet this spring and think fenders would be a good idea. Just curious as to what will be the best fender/tire combo. Not looking to turn it into a fat tire tractor as my Sam takes care of that (although I am coming to view it as a place to store the parts that I ultimately will put on an AHH-- sigh).
