Hi,

I've been searching for a bike fitting this specification for a while (for university), and the closest I've found so far is the Charge Grater. I was hoping to draw on the collective knowledge of the forum, who might know whether such a bike exists, off the peg so to speak?
I'm not averse to fitting a mudguard or chainguard myself, but from prior experience, retro-fitted mud/chain guards never seem to function as well as pre-fitted ones.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

P.S. I'm sure it goes without saying but ideally not too expensive!

    If you don't mind looking at second hand or old stock - both no longer produced:

    The Trek District Series a fitted chainguard with eyelets for mudguards/racks - http://www.trekbikes.com/ca/en/bikes/20 ... thdistrict

    The older Charge Plug Grinder bikes with horizontal top tubes had fitted mudguards but no chain guard.

    Thanks for the quick replies, I will certainly look for that bike, but it would be great to know if there a similar bike in current production?

    Many SE Racing bikes can take full mudguards but you will have to buy & fit them yourself. My SE Racing draft lite came with a chain guard too.
