Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sheldon Brown bike for sale.....

I saw this in another forum. Normally I would never link to an eBay auction and I know it isn't even a road bike but this deserves a plug!

I think Sheldon helped a lot of people on this forum out, now you can own a little bit of history.

Seller is Harriet Fell, Sheldon Brown's widow.

eBay #150315456256

Not for me, but I hope it fetches a premium price.

Is any part of the money going to a charity or foundation or anything?

no, its going to the family I believe..

Over the next few months, several of Sheldon Brown’s bicycles, and
numerous components, will be for sale on EBay and Craigslist. My son
Jacob and I are helping Harriet sell these items.
At this time, the first item, a Brooks Professional saddle, is for
sale on EBay. Bids have gone up to $57 so far; bidding closes at 5:17
PM EST Sunday, This item amounts to just dipping a toe into the
water — *many* more items will be for sale.
Search on to find these items (and to avoid
the many items of memorabilia related to
Generally, items of special interest, with a limited market but
likely to sell at a good price and/or easy to ship (e.g., customized
bicycles, 16-inch Greenspeed rear wheel, saddles, will go up on EBay,
and items of more general interest that will probably sell locally
(e.g., steel frames suitable to build up into fixed-gear bikes) on
Craigslist. Run-of-the-mill stuff that wouldn’t sell for much, but
can be used to build up usable bicycles, is being donated to Bikes Not Bombs.
If Interested, please keep checking at EBay and Craigslist! I’ll be
posting a message here occasionally as more items are posted.
