My Single Speed Has New Fenders

My Single Speed Has New Fenders, originally uploaded by Chris Abraham.

I now have officially turned the Delancey into a proper German-spec bike. The final straw towards this goal was a set of fenders, to protect me from a dirty, wet, crotch when I ride around in the rainy days that are common in Berlin. Is this cool or did I just take all the sexy out of the poor single-speed? Turning a racer into a mule?
