I am looking for one, preferably on the light side, for the rainy season. Can't seem to find it. I don't want a touring bike or c-cross bike.

either get something old, SKS race blades, or MEC clip on fenders

Just want a beater for the rain, or a nice bike that will accept fenders? I think there are clip on fenders that will work on any bike. I have a Gunnar sport that has eyelets. It's a relaxed geometry road bike, about 4 pounds for the frame.

I'd prefer a nice, medium range bike that accepts fenders. I struggled with clip-ons last year and found out that they don't really work. I want my wheels to be fully covered this time.

My Torelli has eyelets for fenders front & rear, not much clearance at the fork crown, but I was able to fit a Zefal 35mm fender. Don

Fenders are pretty common in the great NW, the generator lightset isn't. Beats putting the bike up for the Winter. I have a few other bikes outfitted with stainless or aluminum fenders. They are much more durable. Since I took that picture, I replaced the Torelli front fender when the lower part shattered on a sub freezing day. Don
