I have SKS Chromoplastic mudguards fitted to my Triban which runs 25mm tyres. though im sure i would be equally as fine with SKS raceblade mudguards too. Either would be fine.

Mine wears cruds but I wouldn't recommend them for any bike to be honest, they are flimsy, they rub and things fall off. They cost about £2 on a Halfords promotion, the only reason I'm using them
Get proper fixed mudguards fitted if you can, but do beware toe overlap especially if using a smallish frame

I run 25mm tyres on my RT-58 and doubt there would be enough clearance to fit full guards without them being a faff. I have the carbon frame and there's certainly no mounts for 'proper' guards on it.
As vickster says look out for toe overlap, I get a little bit on my 58 as it is but the nearest it'll get to guards is possibly an ass-saver from time to time

SKS Raceblades. Easy to fit and no annoying rattles.

My RT 58 (alloy) has been used for winter / commuting duties and I use SKS raceblades on it with 25mm conti 4 seasons tyres.
Front guard was a bit of a faff to fit - tight clearance and needed a bit of adjustment to the wires, but once fitted they are fine, and quick to put on / take off.

They claim you need the XL version for 25s but friends of mine use them with no issue. I like the extra clearence of the XLs though.

Don't sell the RT.... Use that as a fair weather commuter

I'd say you have little chance of £350 used, but try fleabay and see. I'd think £250 more realistic, but you never know
