Carbon fenders: anybody still making them

[fredd]

The Hampsten in classified got me lusting for carbon fenders, but seems like who made them is no longer doing so...

Anybody still making carbon fenders?
A quick web search shows http://xelo-fenders.com/ but I'm not convinced by their mounting solution. Anybody have experience with them?
Also btchn bikes seems to have been developing them for a while now.

Am I missing something? Are carbon fenders just a stupid idea?

Yes, but they're also frickin' awesome.

Lemond may be making some now.

Seems not anymore. That's probably telling...

They look proprietary, but we'll see

You'll have to order them from the UK but as far as I am aware the old Swarf design are the only ones that are still available. Now sold by VeloDuo. These are the ones as seen on Rich's Hampsten Strada Bianca build.
