Keen VO followers would notice a similarity to our Zeppelin 52mm fenders.

| Zeppelin |
 |
| Facette |
The keenest observers will notice the facet arrangement of each style. The Facetted fenders sport a middle facet as opposed to the Zeppelin's center ridge. Not a huge difference, but just enough.
The facets of the our Zeppelin and new Facetted fenders lend very well to painting and pinstriping. JP Weigle, one of the best custom builders in the US, has some fantastic examples of custom paintwork and modification of our Zeppelin fenders.

Look is very similar to the Lefol/Honjo Le Paon style fenders you used to have in stock. (http://velo-orange.blogspot.fi/2008/05/few-new-products.html)
Zeppelin fenders cover Hetres perfectly.
and JPW's modified Zeppelin on my pretty blue bike above is quite something. Stunning craftsmanship.
These are really good looking
Received mine today! What is the color code for the Pass Hunter?
The paint company that is used does not sell in the US, so any code would not relate to a US paint company.
Is there any chance I would be able to install these fenders (facette) on my 26" wheels? Thanks!
@Pam Allan,
Not really. The radius between 26" and 700c is too great. You would be better off using either a 26" sized fender, or using a 650b and re-radiusing per this blog post: http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2017/01/re-radiusing-fenders.html
