Thank you Jim. Sheldon was a very special person who had the ability to
make complete newbies feel comfortable asking beginner questions. He never
made you feel stupid or out of line. I am very fortunate to be the steward
of his orange rambouillet and think about him almost daily.

No question he was a great guy. When I was getting back into biking I had
the great good fortune to have a consultation with Sheldon when I was
buying my first Rivendellesque Heron Road from Harris. He certainly
contributed much information to the biking community but I think it was his
I had never even heard of Sheldon until 2011, but I still think of him in the

Sheldon's website knowledge astonished me when I first stumbled or was
directed there (can't recall how I found it). The depth of information and
clarity of presentation are of immense value. As always, Sheldon will be
missed by many.

I think a fitting memorial would be a small Sheldon Brown robot that sits
in everyone's bike shop. Something like a Siri/Echo interface with the
Sheldon info store held within. That would be awesome! hey Sheldonbot -

As an amateur wheel builder I have laced up at least 40 sets of wheels over the
years, and when people ask me where I learned how to build wheels, I'd tell
them Sheldon Brown taught me. You KNEW Sheldon Brown?, they would ask,
with an impressed look on their face.
No, I never met him was
