Just searched for cycle mudguards which returned no items.Refining that search to bicycle mudguards returned,
"vintage cibie front lamp light lantern spotlight bike bicycle mudguard fender".
As can be seen,my search term was within that title but not picked up.

Nothing new in that. There are many problems that have existed a lot longer that never get addressed.
