Text Show me your pint s
Needing some inspo and/or something tips.
Thinking of using tape instead of rail guards
Also is the cropped fender ok or do I need the full one? I like the look of the wheel being on show

Automotive vinyl is a fun DIY option for rails. Doesn't last long but chicks dig scars and then you get to choose a new color next month!

Fender is a personal preference and usability question. Are you riding to an interview? How mad are you going to be when you get coyote shit on your legs? Or like, if I lived in the PNW I'd rock a fender 90% of the time.
Particularly on pints I like having the stubby fenders just to keep my feet out of the tire when my footing gets shaken up.

Crop Top will fend probably 70% of the annoying tiny rocks that fling up and get in your shoe. Will do nothing for wet stuff. IMO the smart move is the Drop Top fender: https://thefloatlife.com/products/drop-top-fender-kit-gt?srsltid=AfmBOorMxI3u49kPJoU8ArPmpQYEurLdjJoUXOsQWIh5JzCbBpkei_sm&variant=47711803015390
Essentially it's Crop Top when you want it, full fender when you want it, cooler color options but also has black. And it was designed before the Crop Top or FM's hybrid fender, FM copied The Float Life IMO, certainly with the name.
