That supply of freewheels and even hubs does exist on the ebay market, but
it will eventually dry up. Now maybe even that market might get watered

i do not like wooden fenders. the flat ones do a lousy job as fenders, letting
any real water spray out to the sides. the nice rounded ones are crazy
expensive, arent adjustible in a strees-relieving way, and are way too thick,
eating into the precious mm of clearance. good metal fenders,
either should be great. the tiebreaker should probably how you want it to

Would not say braze on center pulls are better than dual pivot side pulls
or mini-vees, both of which I've found to do an excellent job. Braze on
center pulls do have a very integrated appearance and serve well.
