Cheers,

I would have manned up but i'm at the end of a man flu so decided not to risk making myself proper ill. I'm going to need mudguards too how can I check if i can fit them? is there meant to be eyelets on forks and chainstays?

If you have't got mudguard fixings, then you'll have to fit some P brackets to the chain stays and forks.

But not elegant and you might not have sufficient clearance for full mudguards

The best solution is to fit some Crud Guard roadracer guards, which will fit on all but the closest clearance frames, and give excellent protection to you.

They don't rattle about and don't look out of place on a race bike, my only complaint was they are flimsy and my front one smashed after the fork stay bolt undid.

I haven't been able to get out for 3 weeks and its driving me nuts

I've got a chest infection, on second course of antibiotics and it just isn't shifting.

Anyone else get withdrawal symptoms?

To get in there early, if anybody would like to join me I plan to do the London to Southend and London to Brighton rides (British Heart Foundation) and the Cyclone Sandown Sportive.

Good choice, looks as though it's got mudgaurd mounts, useful this time of year. Enjoy, can become very addictive
