Cream Colored Fenders?
Does anyone know of some good cream colored fenders? I've found these on Rivendell, and will probably buy them unless someone points me in another, better direction. https://www.rivbike.com/product-p/fe2.htm
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Those or painted steel (DIY) are your options. The sks/bluemels/planetbike all use a similar hardware systems which looks OK, traditional for an English bike. But going with steel, you have some nicer options for hardware.

Bamboo, my daughter has them on her Raleigh Sojourn. They are just beautiful.

And they are not flat like earlier bamboo fenders.
They have a curve like any plastic fender.

I hate to contradict you, but there's nothing traditional about the hardware on SKS fenders with their plastic breakaway front stay attachment. The attachment of the stays to the fenders is nothing like that of vintage Bluemels either. They are fine fenders, but I wouldn't put them on a bike that I wanted to keep vintage.
