If you think "reasonable fenders" are $50 then I think you are the stupid one. I've made fenders from plastic milk jugs but you know, they just didn't look right on a $1500 touring bike. I can build you a house out of sticks, too and it wouldn't cost nearly what you are paying now. But most people would look at you and say you are the stupid one for living in it.. no matter how much you saved.
