Thank you! I've been wanting steel fenders for a long time, but the price was a sticking point for me. Saw these on sale at V-O, and couldn't pass them up.

The 47mm smooth stainless fenders are still on sale for 35 bones. They're 18mm depth instead of 22mm, so you lose a fifth of an inch in side coverage. They are the same depth as SKS P-45 fenders. All the drilling, parts fabbing, measuring and riveting took me about 5 hours total. But that included about 1.5 hours of re-vamping my entire lighting system.

Be forewarned: The high-clearance fork on the Cross Check will not work with the eyeletted crown bolt mounting hardware. Order the additional L-bracket, and be prepared to fabricate a short extender for it, so you can get a good close fender line.
