I assume that fenders like cranks and racks and so forth are anodized and not painted; please correct me if I am wrong.
I might install 60s on the Matt:1 in place of the current 80s (swapped from 60 mm to 50 mm tires). Bright silver will look odd on this bike, so I'd choose black. How durable is anodized color on fenders for a bike that will see some offroad use -- thickets, the occasional fall, rubbing against cottonwoods and so on. I don't expect anodizing to be indelible but I'd not bother if it scratches very easily. I've used VO's narrower fenders: decent, perfectly acceptable, not as nice as Honjos; how well do they stand up to multi-terrain use in the widest sizes? BTW: If anyone has a pair of 622 X 60 - 65 in aluminum, dull smooth silver, "hammered" silver, or black, and cares to sell, I'd like to talk.
