Shorty ducktail fenders

[aideas]

Hello,

A newbie here. I am getting started on my very first rat rod project, an early 70's Schwinn cruiser frame. I am having lots of fun gathering parts and stuff and like seeing what others are doing. I need a source for 26" shorty ducktail fenders since I can't seem to find one around here, perhaps I'm just looking in all the wrong places. Any help appreciated. I'll post photos as the project progresses. Thanks. :lol:

Welcome aboard fellow rat!

Funny you should mention ducktail fenders, we were just discussing them in another thread - they do seem to be harder to find than expected. One option is to cut down a set of full size ducktails. The full size jobs are quite easy to find.

Wald makes some really short splash guard style fenders: http://www.waldllc.com/catalog.html check on pages 2 & 3 of the catalog

Nirve has them listed: http://www.nirve.com/parts.asp?cid=3001

Felt shows a similar fender set: http://www.feltracing.com/products/prod ... =1436,1437

I got my shorty fenders here: http://www.chainganglowrider.com but availability might be limited.

bikeworldusa.com has very good prices and service.

They carry most, if not all, Nirve and Electra products.

I have gotten to know the owners and can assure you they are great people who take customer service very seriously, their Ebay store had a 100% satisfaction rating the last time I checked.

On a local level they have been in business over 30 years and they fully support kustom, cruiser and chopper nuts like us. Please check out their site.

I totally agree.

I've used bikeworldusa.com also for a Nirve seat, Electra tires, and a set of repro bow pedals. They have the cheapest prices around and they get the stuff to you super fast.

You got that right! I have dealt with them a few times and they are great people.

They are very accomadating to people living in Canada making every transaction very smooth. They also get some neat NOS stuff, but I don't think it is always listed.
