Raleigh fenders on a Schwinn S6 wheel?

[katezila]

Or any of the english 3-speed models for that matter.
I love the beautiful fluted and scuplted look of old Raleigh fenders and the chrome on my Schwinn Collegiate fenders is really shot. Has anyone swictched em out?
I put the front fender from my dad's 71' Raleigh built Hercules on my Schwinn. It seemed pretty smooth, a little fussy to get under the fork and when I spun the weel there seemed to be a spot where it rubbed, but I haven't gotten my new tires yet and I also need to get the wheels trued so I'm not sure.
So yeah. Anyone else tried this?
And if it works, I'll be lookin for some

Well if anyone else is interested, its confirmed. Raleigh and any other raleigh made bicycle fenders fit Schwinn s6 wheels. If anyone ever wants to add a bit of extra class, I personally think these fenders look great.

Haha I didn't think to take em. I've got a set of my own coming in the mail and I'm working on overhauling the rear wheel right now so I'll have to put some up when I'm done!

Haha man I should have posted this ages ago but there was some trouble with the fender stays. The hercules fenders fit fine but the ones i got had to short of a stay on the front fender. Had to get crafty and it's good to go now.

Definitely gives it an English flair.
