Doug, I put these fenders on my 50cm Saluki two years ago and they still look nice. They are stainless steel so they won't rust but they will scratch and dent. The mounting hardware is of a good quality. There are a few tricks to getting Berthoud fenders to fit--I have the Mitsuboshi Trimline tires and another set of wheels with the Col de la Vies. There are two widths. You have to get the wider size to fit around the tires and you have to dispense with the spacer at the front fork. You have to plan and measure and dill your own holes in the fenders for the mounting hardware carefully. I got some help from a local bike shop. Good luck.
