I found a way to put a normal rack on back so I guess I could do the same. I don't need a lot of
storage. just for things for the bike. rain gear and such. I don't mind the backpack as long as it
is not loaded.

a very limited choice for racing bikes. they will cost me about 45.00

mec.ca sells "Freddy" fenders for about C$20 a set. Perfectly serviceable, may need to be cut down
for a true racing bike (what kind of "racing bike" do you have?).

http://www.racycles.com/rd/catalog/casati_ellisse_genius_2038691.htm this is close I have the forks
the bike came with. no room for regular fenders they won't fit between wheel and forks.
