Finally riding a big boys bike
Let's see some skirt guards. Any skirt guard will do but I'm partial to the formed metal style as opposed to the chain or woven type. Here's mine.

How fitting that it has twin torpedo headlights.

Were skirt guards only on 26" middleweight bikes?
What year range did they have the formed metal guards?

I'd say most sheetmetal skirt guards are prewar & postwar girls ballooners. There are some really early bikes that have guards made of twine or wire.
