Front and Rear Fender recommendation

I have a 1993 Cannondale m800 with 26in x 1.95in tires. I plan to keep those on since my commute is only 4 miles each way. Any recommendations on fendors that would fit this bike and tire combo ?\\
thanks in advance

There are a bunch of fenders that would fit that bike. I like Planet Bike Freddy Fenders because they don't cost too much and are durable. Any of the ATB fenders should work; I would go with full fenders to get the maximum fender goodness, but you have a lot of choices, including snazzy yellow.

+1 On the Freddy Fenders. I have the Hardcore's which work fine; however, after getting a set of the Cascadias for my Hybrid I'm convinced that it the model to get. The Cascadia's have a longer mudflap than the Hardcores and keeps stuff from spraying on the bottom side of the chain..

+2 Planet Bike Cascadias. They say they'll fit 26x1.75-2.25"; you're right in the range there. I have a set of Cascadia Hybrids on my 7.2FX and they're great.

I hadn't seen these fenders--they look great.
