there were a few others similar posted, but this was the only one with free shipping, and honestly.. Good heavy fenders usually sell at 50 a pop new.. these would be perfect to clean up and use as temps if youre deadset on raingutters.

Liberate yourself from the tyranny of eBay rip-offs.... look into brand-new, heavy-duty, made-in-Kentucky Wald 962 fenders if you need some regular, old-school balloon fenders. 962-26 in chrome; 962-26GB in black. 962s come in 20" or 24" flavors, too, but chrome only. More flamboyant riders can choose the Wald 972 fenders, with the duck-tail flare at the ends.... all three sizes, balloon-width, chrome only. All are priced at $20 to $30 (complete with braces!), and available at your LBS (probably gonna have to special order them) or from various online retailers. I get'm at niagaracycle.com, b/c they are cheap and shipping's free over $100 dollars.
As for the OPs question: I don't know of anyone offering current or repop rain gutter fenders. Gonna have to dig up some used ones. Try the "wanted" section here on RRB....

Yeah, except they're just used and rusty Wald 962 fenders, for more money than new ones (and without the hardware)... Wald isn't really a "reproduction" company-- they've been in this game, making the same primitive crap, for over 100 years....
thanks for the responses,ya i wanna experiment with some rain gutters and mabey some narrower than stock which might make stock tires look bigger,u could get that nice full look without making alowwencys for bigger tires,just the imagination goin on,its winter here so its panning time!!

My Two Cents Worth....
If you found a pair or 27" or 28" rain gutter fenders for experimentation, you could decrease the arc and widen a tad by rolling them out a bit with a round object (such as a baseball).
They tend to curl like sea horse tails fairly quickly, so if you try this method, go slowly.
I suppose squeezing outer edges back together would widen the arc back towards original if you went too far.
I may be tucking my 26" Big Apples (on a 28" frame) under a pair of 700 Velo Orange hammered aluminum fenders that I got from a friend for installing his new ones.
They have adjustable braces and a bit of flex but kind of pricey for purchase.
