Jobst Brandt leaves behind memories to last a lifetime
I have had the privilege of interacting just a tiny bit with both Jobst Brandt and Sheldon Brown. Two entirely different and opposite personalities, at least in my experience. But, both extremely knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. This is the first I have heard of Jobst's death, and Sheldon died a number of years back. If anyone is unaware of these two giants in the bicycle realm, do a bit of a google. Sheldon's website still reigns as does Jobst's The Bicycle Wheel.
