surly steamroller - fender options?

Not sure if this would be better posted in the fg/ss section, but figured there are some commuters using steamrollers.

What options are there for fenders? I know as a last resort there are those "fins" like the topeak defender. But would like something permanent and nice. Not sure if this is possible, but surely not all bikes come with fender mounts.

Just for the record I have 700 x 25 tires.

Thanks.

Was actually looking at those.

Comments, suggestions, advice? Other products?

Thanks.

Planet Bike or Freddy Bike fenders are excellent choices.

I just love the way they look on my bikes.

Right, but without fender mounts, there really doesn't seem to be too many out of the box solutions. Aside from those. And another style of clip on fenders (the freddy ones I think).

I checked out some reviews, and they don't seem too good.

I don't know, I keep going in circles with this. Seems like I am better off just getting a nice, normal set of fenders and figuring out a way to get them on. There seems to be very little information though on how.

P-clamps and SKS fenders. I ran fixed gear with SKS P45s with P-clamps and 700x28c Gatorskins for a while on my Steamroller. Fit just fine. Worked great.
