Aluminum fenders can be easily adjusted for a perfect line with your tire
by slightly pulling open (decreasing overall radius) or
pinching (increasing overall radius) the fender. Stainless fenders are too
rigid to bend.
I have a set of Honjos on one bike and a set of

+1. Not a fan of hammered at all, but I do like the smooth Honjos. Honjo
hardware though is a pain, and IMO distracts from the clean lines of the
bike. If Berthoud hardware works on your set up, a great choice.

The first metal fenders I ever used were Berthouds from the local bike
shop. They actually went on easy enough and worked well. I put them on my
Hilsen yet it is now sporting SKS. While the coverage isn't as good, the
SKS allow for a larger tired. My radnonneuring bike sports VO fenders and
Yes, the hammered fenders ARE beautiful.. For your Stumpy, I think fluted
would also look worthy.
DO post pics... that's a beautiful bike.

Stainless steel resists corrosion well. I and many other riders of late
have a completely uncoated stainless steel bike.

I would think the debris that fenders kick up would wear away that
boeshield pretty fast. I have a Peugeot with steel fenders, about 20 years
old and still look ok. They are rusty as hell inside but my bikes live
indoors so mostly surface rust.

Stainless or chrome plated like the Walds? Chrome I can see wearing
down and rusting. Or it could be the stainless fenders are
Chrome plated, yeah where the chrome has flaked off they have rust but are
still sturdy.

Thanks very much. I'm convinced. Now, based on budget I'll decide whether
to go Velo Orange Stainless (at $55) or Peter White Berthoud Stainless(at
$73, assuming the website is up to date).

I wouldnt say Honjos are less durable. Thats more of function of installation.
A botched SS fender install will likely have more problems down the road than a
perfect Honjo install.
I vote for Honjos with Berthoud hardware and DIY rubber flaps.
