My method of acquiring mudguards is to go to a bicycle shop and exchange some Coin of the Realm for a pair of mudguards made by a manufacturer of mudguards in a mudguard factory.
This method also works for shoes, trousers, underpants, bread rolls, beer, lightbulbs, washing-up liquid, hose, peas and fork-handles.

Agreed, I was just being humorous. The bike could end up looking like a Frankenbike or something of beauty, depending on the DYI effort.

Mine would probably be more Frankenbike-looking rather than thing of beauty. We could have a CycleChat Fender Challenge. That always seems to bring out the best artisanship in everyone.
