10 Speeds with Fenders

[Tim s]

The look of fenders on some 10 speeds has grown on me but back in day they would have been the first thing I would take off a bike. The fenders add a classy look IMO. What do you think about the look of fenders and let’s see some pics of your 10 speeds with fenders?

Love it!
I’m working on a 1960 Schwinn Paramount with aluminum Blumels fenders.
I’ll post some pics once it’s rolling again.

A pair of Flamboyant Lime 1963's in as found condition. Now they are Flamboyant Aluminum Base after a storm blew the cover off and then the rain washed off half of the paint. So the chrome fenders don't look as good with the silver partially Lime frame.

Hi Tim,
Every bike in my small collection has fenders as I like the look as well. They all came with fenders from the factory, including the Sports Tourer, as it was a special order. These are just my ten speed bikes, keeping true to the thread. Pictured are: '69 campus Green Varsity, '65 Radiant Coppertone Varsity, '75 Chestnut Brown Varsity, '64 Sky Blue Varsity, '74 Opaque Red Sports Tourer and a '67 Violet Varsity. As a kid, I didn't like fenders on my bikes but as an adult ( sort of), I love 'em!

The ‘67 Violet Schwinn Variety is just in the best condition and a great color!

I was going to put fenders and a generator light on this one until I realised the 32" standover height did not go well with my 30" inseam.

Tim,

Very nice thread you started, as I’ve always been a big fan of chrome fenders. Adds a touch of class in my opinion.

Here are a couple of 1964 Schwinn Survivors in their factory Flamboyant Lime.
