I was really hesitant to use the Velo Orange fenders until I saw them on @Flog00's Tomeii.

I got the Zeppelin Fenders- tried to get them installed on my Voyageur SP. The rear fit fine, the front did not- the fork crown was way too narrow. So I got a set of the Facette fenders when those became available- those were still too big. I'm going to have to do a little thinking and straightening out what I bent to fit in there.

Of course most people aren't going to have that kind of problem with that narrow fork; the VSP is narrower than my Trek 620 and 720.

FWIW- my secret plan is to go with a Zeppelin rear and Facette front on the VSP and the Facette rear (because of the long chainstays and the distance between the chainstay bridge and the tire) and Zeppelin front. I just hope I haven't chewed up the fenders too much in trying to bend them to fit them under the fork crown.
