I just exchanged e-mails with him a couple of weeks ago. He was always 
extremely generous with sharing his expertise, whether or not you were likely 
to buy anything from him. He will be missed.

This 
makes 
me 
very 
sad. 
I 
don't 
have 
a 
mechanical 
aptitude, 
but 
I 
found 
his 
site 
amazingly, 
passionately, 
informative. 
It 
was 
clear 
that 
this 
was 
a 
man 
with 
a 
great 
sense 
of 
the 
importance 
of 
bicycles 
& 
bicycling 
to 
the 
advancement 
of 
the 
humanity.

Thanks 
for 
passing 
along 
the 
news, 
Martin.
