RogerJ Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 For those of you who follow cycling to some degree, Sheldon Brown passed away last night of a massive heart attack. Sheldon was a cornucopia of information and will be missed. -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Indeed, I stumbled across his site many times in searching for info when fixing my bikes over the years. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/ Hopefully someone will continue to host his information, he'll be missed.

RogerJ Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I first heard the news on the Fixed Gear listserve. By the time I posted this, most of the cycling blogs and websites had some mention of this. Not only was Sheldon a great resource for information, he had a passion for the sport that was unique in so many regards. -r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
