Hi, just nearing the point of completion of my project and I want to do the bike justice so looking for advice on the mudguards. It's a 1975 bike and Ulf karlson replica, should they be plastic or do I spend the cash and go alloy..... Dose anyone know what they were fitted with new? It has the white plastic montesa ones on now but they are replacements.

Cheers in advance

Steve

They were alloy on the Ulf Replica

Alloy isn't a good idea if you're going to ride it as they don't crash well, fine for just looking at it.

I don't know if the Cota repro alloy guards are like the Ossa repros, but they are that flimsy that the stays cracked and separated from the front mudguard within a couple of hours use, I never even got the chance to bend them in a crash....

you didnt crash quick enough
