The Biggie is a Daniel Salmon with his own mudguards made of aluminmumniummmumumum

totally impractical

It has a very nice Spidelt BB in it

Very cool, I have a pair of his mudguards.

I had them Salmon mudguards BITD; thought they were great and much better than floppy plastic crap. Aero too

Surely those mudguards are about as much use as a gutter with holes in?

They work well, better than clip ons.

Really? wouldn't you end up with two plumes of water instead of one without mudguards just hitting downtube?

Nope. They appear flat, but actually there is a low depth ridge. The water just sort of bounces back from the mudguard onto the tyres and gravity does the rest.

A French MTB with a porter strap...

Does that count?

Oh ok...I've never tried em always though it would just spill out to the sides!
