Just saw this thread now and I am in agreement with all. Brownie was a huge inspiration for me when I first started building wheels and working on bikes. He also had some wonderful articles outside of Cycling. I had the pleasure of speaking with Sheldon a few times over the phone as well as emailing back and forth during his illness. For being in such demand, he was always so laid back and humble. Never ending patience with a soft word to help steer you towards his knowledge. He understood one's love for bikes as it was within him as well. He was pretty funny too. Even though he is gone, his articles will march on educating the masses. He left a gift that keeps on giving. What more could you ask for?
