Sheldon was a good man. I really believe that.

This is exactly my experience as well.
RIP Sheldon

alas is right. I think he was an atheist.

Does anybody remember the Sheldon Brown eagle avatar? I still see it tagged on people's username every once in awhile. I think you got it if you donated to a charity in honor of Sheldon.

I remember reading his posts and looking forward to where he would pop up again. Such a shock when we learned of his passing. Oh how I'd love to see his insight on how the world has changed since we lost him.

Just used his method for adjusting the shifter cable on a Strumey-Archer 3spd IGH. Much better than the manufacturers.

R.I.P. fellow cyclist!
