Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Sorry about the loss of your son.
I lost my sibling when she was 36 to a brain tumor. I understand how hard it is to come to grasp with the random and unexpected.

That's terrible. I've never even purchased or had any contact with him other than hearing all the stories through this board. It makes me wish I had bought stuff from him just because of how nice a guy he is. He's done a lot for us and others that don't frequent BF. Can anyone think of anything we can do for him? I'd toss some money into a paypal account for flowers or something.

Instead of flowers why don't we find a charity that Phil would have wanted money donated to? Or perhaps one that Tony would like. I'm sure there are enough flowers. Is this ok Tony?

Wow. There's nothing I can say that can make it better, so I'll just say I'm really, really sorry. I can't even imagine what it's like. I'm all up for donating money anywhere, to anything we can agree on.

My sincere condolences, Tony.
