It seems that for bikes with fenders and chain guards your choices are beach cruisers, over-priced commuter bikes and old bikes. I've tried the plastic fenders but they do not last very long.
There are a variety of
all metal fenders available too. Places like
Velo-Orange have a good selection.
What do you consider "over priced"? FWIW my Raleigh Superbe cost around $80-$90 new in 1972 in 2007 dollars that would be around $460. However there are many other things that drive the cost.
I paid about $600 for my Redline pictured above, I will probably put another $300 in upgrades into it before I am done, but that is typical for most of my bikes. The fenders on it are aluminum imbedded in plastic, pretty tough fenders in my experience.
