Tokyo Fixed of london have the VO mudguards. I wasn't going to buy them until I saw them and then I couldn't resist.
The plain ones aren't boring so much.... they look amazing, understated.
The style points come from the extra length and the way the mudguard stays go around the outside of the guard. Really good in the rain 'n all.
I was pretty keen on the hammered ones but it's best to see them on a bike.
The quality and the polish/finish is fabulous. It's a moot point if you think it's worth spending more.
I have a photo of my bike with them fitted if you wanna see, but if your heart is fluted, then so should be your mind, and thereafter your wallet.
