I've got full-coverage SKS fenders on the urbanite (actually on my other bike as well); to me, they make a big difference in my overall comfort while riding. my feet stay drier, my chainring and chain have less gunk sprayed up into it from the front wheel. they're black, on a black frame so they don't look too offensive. it's the main reason that i bought one of urbane's new frames, the first urbanite frame i had had no clearance for fenders and no eyelets either. i've got 700x28 tires in there with the fenders. no complaints. have you got one of their recent frames?
yeah, those halvesies fenders can be a pain to set up and maintain.
