Thinking about getting a Brommie

[MontyVeda]

Looking on Ebay at Brommie's and there's a few available at the right sort of price within collection distance... but they don't always have mudgards or the rear rack.

What would it cost the get a rear rack, or mudguards as add-ons? And does the rack fit over all mudguards?

I can't remember the prices off hand, but the rack needs a specific mudguard to fit.

Fairly sure the prices of the actual mudguards are similar between the two, but you do have to order the right one. Apparently.

Front mudguard set is around £35

Rear set without the rack is around £50
STAYS are £32 and the mudguard's about £15

Rear rack and mudguard set is around £125.

I bought a new & unused rack & mudguard 'unit' from a member for a very reasonable price a few months back. Used a YouTube video to get past a tricky bit.
Obviously makes the rear end a bit heavier for flipping the back wheel under, but very pleased with the setup and gives that fair bit of extra carrying capacity, especially for solid objects.

I had a feeling they'd be quite pricey... so best off looking for a second hand Brommie with the gubbins I'll need.
Another question regarding the rear rack... does anyone use Ortleib panniers with it and is there enough ground clearence?
