Well, sure, you can remove the fenders and it won't affect the functionality of the bike. I think $850 is a lot to spend for plain steel SS, but the Bianchi is a good bike and if you really like it then get it. I happen to like fenders on my commuter bikes, but my SS is an ancient Mercier road bike with forward facing dropouts and a large gap between the front of the rear fender and rear tire to allow easy removal.
