Have a look at some SKS race blades or crud mudracers, or w/e if you want some road bike specific fenders. I wouldn't give up so easily.
btw fenders on my curvy spesh frame, one benefit of disc frames:

Very nice! I have a slightly older roubaix. What fenders are those? I have the roubaix without the zertz that go to the edge of the fork. Is that a 10r or 8r frame?
I just picked up a 97-98 Spesh ground control FSR, it's boss as fuck. 33.8 lbs, gearing makes it climb like a beast. Super slow on the descent but overall, this thing is still a good bike. Picked it up for 180 and I see some people still selling them used for well over 250. I think I picked up a pretty decent deal.
