I've been eyeing up a pair of wooden mudguards for a while now, especially at this time of year when the weather is less than kind to us. The guys at Woodguards make beautiful examples, made from reclaimed timber and brightly coloured formica. Each pair are handmade in Edinburgh by former furniture makers whose skills can be seen in the attention to detail and finishing of the mudguards.
At a cost of £142 they are definitely, as they say, for your best bike. You can buy them through their site or through Freshtripe.
