be interested to know what you make of the book when you're finished, as subjects go i think he was one of the more 'out there' lives of that mad 90s/00s period.just started reading “God is dead - the rise and fall apart of Frank Vandenbrouke”
Going to enjoy this, shortlisted for William Hill book of the year
If you have a bike with a full complement of frame mounts / bosses would you opt for proper mudguards or a more simpler solution?

The Pantani book is in my pills to read, and I have just started the Jens Voigt book.Might give it a go.....Matt Rendall's book on Marco Pantani is worth a read if you haven't already...
David Millars book is another....might just be me but there's something about Millar I just can't get away with..
I thought he came across really well in that book.David Millars book is another....might just be me but there's something about Millar I just can't get away with..

What’s that ( I’m guessing you mean Value Added ?)The Pantani book is in my pills to read, and I have just started the Jens Voigt book.
I was taught VAT by David Millard uncle in Edinburgh, who is a top bloke and had a few tales about him. He would be about 18 stone, but commutes by bike so he got a skin suit from DM for Christmas, he said it was about the same size a handkerchief.

Yes, its Value added tax, and I also meant to say it was David Millar's uncle.Not read Pantani one…have read Millars and like you I just can’t stand the fucker. Clearly knowledgeable but don’t like his commentary either

How was he training you in VAT ? As part of C&E ( HMRC) or external training ?Yes, its Value added tax, and I also meant to say it was David Millar's uncle.
I'm HMRC based in Benton Park View and I was lucky when I moved across to VAT it was still very much old school training.How was he training you in VAT ? As part of C&E ( HMRC) or external training ?
Used to be a BVT ( Basic VAT Training) trainer in C&E
Ah right…most training I did was PBH ( Leeds) though quite a bit in Newcastle( Cale across House and at Gosforth)I'm HMRC based in Benton Park View and I was lucky when I moved across to VAT it was still very much old school training.
I probably just missed your training.
Even luckier the course was 2 years and my tutorials were in Edinburgh, so I had about 25 trips to Edinburgh during the course. DM's uncle had been C&E and then HMRC all his career and was based in Aberdeen at the time.
Assuming it's a road bike, aye. Off road bike, I'd be buying mudhuggers.Proper full mudguards are best, and if the frame is designed to accommodate them then why not? If it's a bike you use all year-round then fit them for winter & take them off for summer.
While we are on the subject are you aware of any solution for a front mudguard on a rigid lefty fork? (Cannondale Slate)Assuming it's a road bike, aye. Off road bike, I'd be buying mudhuggers.
New bike?While we are on the subject are you aware of any solution for a front mudguard on a rigid lefty fork? (Cannondale Slate)
No. My son has one of them. Cannondale don't seem to offer any kind of solution for their lefty fork.New bike?
The only one I know is the Mudhugger Left One, which I think has been discontinued and was more for MTB than grav grav.
The book was excellent....just something a bit cycling snobbery about him....to be fair he can back it up mind.
Just started Mark Beaumont's endurance book that I received off Santie.......
More between primo & remco imho.Seems like a shootout between him and Remco, if he can stay upright.

Suppose it’ll come down to team mates and there’s 3 TT’s which will suit Thomas. Would love to see him win another grand tour before retiring.
