matt, why do you think proper fenders are 'funny looking'? That bike is a bit of a pink elephant....even with disc brakes, its going to look a bit funny to a lot of riders that ride bikes that fit them well.

A bike with proper fenders does not look funny except to the uninitiated. proper fenders ARE better than the abbreviated ones you've got. you'll figure it out soon enough.

No worries, enjoy your new ride!
