Doesn't the water just come out of the side with mudguards like that? I have proper mudguards (SKS) and water still sluices from under the sides when it's really wet and I'm turning.
It doesn't look that bad, just impractical and at a laughable price point. My skinny hybrid commuter (a Ridgeback Flight 1 of fine vintage) cost about £400. Even adding disk brakes and a hub gears surely wouldn't add that much. I do need to probably buy a new all-weather commuting bike as the converted MTB I currently use most of the time is making more and more ominous groaning noises. It wouldn't be this. Something cheap and cheerful with mudguards, a rack etc. that I can lock up outside without worrying about. What's the point of having a utility bike that you leave anywhere?
