    Yes, this works fine. I did it a couple of years ago on a road bike, with standard chromo-plastic mudguards. All the brackets you need are available from St John Street Cycles.

    See under Luggage and Trailers, Carriers and Racks, Rack Fitting Parts for a variety of brackets etc. Asst stainless nuts and bolts are found under Components, Nuts and Bolts.

    God dammit. If only I'd known, I had to make some Blue Peter style out of some old brackets, I'd even thought of taking out a patent!

    Are those really wooden mudguards?

    Yogi - suspect your brackets were a lot cheaper, and did the job just the same. Re the mudguards, yes real wood I understand. FWIW there's a guy in Holland (I think) builds complete bikes out of wood - think it was in one of my Velo Vision mags a while ago.
