Sheldon Brown was very knowledgeable. I will miss his witty commentary and sage bicycling advice.
Unfortunately, he was also a big fan of the Atkins diet and was an enthusiastic promoter of this sham. Ride your bike and eat your vegetables! http://sheldonbrown.com/org/brown/index.html http://sheldonbrown.com/org/brown/index.html In the early '90s I switched to Scott AT-4 mountain bike bars, with DiaCompe SS5 brake levers, in an attempt to make this bike (which was originally built for speed, not for comfort) more comfortable. That was an improvement, but I found that I only rarely rode it, mainly because I was no longer happy reaching down to the down-tube shift levers. (This partly has to do with getting old and stiff and fat...I was up to 270 pounds or so for a while. Since then I've lost about 60 pounds thanks to the Atkins Diet...) The latest incarnation of this bike is the most radical yet! As of May, 2004, It now has two, count 'em, two sets of handlebars! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Lund Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 12:20 AM To: BikiesSubmissions Subject: [Bikies] Sheldon Brown Some of you may have already heard the news...
