we'll all miss ya good buddy

man-o-man.....i'm super bummed to hear the news this morning about the legendary Sheldon Brown, the walking encyclopedia of a bike mechanic over at Harris Cyclery  passed this morning and the cycling community is sorely going to miss this man very much. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

 I personally have relied on his expertise many times, i remember using his website as a resource the first time that i overhauled a Sturmey Archer hub, and have always instinctively gone back to his site for good information. Gear inch calculators, Schwinn/Raliegh serial number data base, dyno hub information.....you name it and the man has covered it and allowed us to learn from his extensive knowledge of all things bicycle. We'll miss ya pal !
