Seeking Resources for early 70's Road bike Fenders
I'm looking for resource/information on where to find Fenders for early 70's road bikes. I'm currently planning a full restoration for my 72-74? Cinelli Model B and would like to acquire fenders for it (love the pics of restored Cinelli's with matching painted fenders!).

I think I saw some on ebay - once. Going to be a tough find.

Got a couple of sets of period correct Torpado fender sets, identical to the ones on this old Italian Torpado that I owned for a while.

How accurate are you looking to be? There are lots of donor bikes with fenders still attached. I regularly see woman's step-thru frame bikes with skinny 26" and 27" tires which have fenders. Sometimes you might need to modify how they mount. Just depends on how precise of a period correct match you are aiming for.
