That's just what I'm saying. I know Sheldon, at least by messages we exchange on the massbike listserv. He's just an ordinary guy. He's a guy with a ton of knowledge, some truly arcane stuff, but deep down, just a guy who likes bikes. He likes to talk about them, write about them, read about them, ride them. But he's just a guy and that's exactly why he's so great because he's a normal approachable guy--with a 63 speed bicycle.
(Take that, Dura Ace 10!)
