Thanks. I have just bought it. An action that prompted my bank to ring me wondering if my card had been stolen!
It's nice they care I suppose.

.Bob Maitland a local cycling legend also passed away this week :cry:

That's a shame, he was a great rider in the 50's and very good as a vet in later years. I met him at the Vets World Championships in St Johann Austria in the 90's. Horrible day, cold and wet. He was crying with the cold at the finish.

Fignon is my all-time pro bike rider hero. Very sad day for me.

Very sad my favourite cyclist when I first started to get into pro cycling. I've just finished his book a few months ago, he didn't pull any punches. He actually looked quite well in some pics from this years tour

In a word "LEGEND".

On his Dyna-Tech prototype we built for the Tour of Holland.

Au revoir le professeur.

:cry:
