50/14 Paul Roantree

Good bye Paul. Twas a true privilege to have chatted and ridden with you. I can certainly see what all the fuss was about. Total legend in my eyes and everyone else's.

Thoughts and sympathies go out to all his family, friends and those that were there for him at the end. I'm sure you boys did an awesome job. Be proud.

Missed this whole thread, as more shocked I am to hear the bad news. Very sad. Rest in Peace Paul.

Goodbye Paul, I will miss your cheeky smile at wests, our converations and I will go and see that building you designed in Paris. Rest in peace old friend.

'mar sin leat'

Such sad news. Rest in peace Paul, and may we all strive to have such a heartening and positive effect on those around us. In a material and transient world, your spirit will forever shine out amongst those priveleged enough to have known you.

Legend, in deed.

i'll miss u paul. i already do! it feels as if a big part of london's famous london, it's cycling and the (our) forum vanished. r.i.p old man, u'll always be the one for me, who came to the first few beers i went to with njs parts lurking out of your bag. track drops, the white nag frame, carbon here and there.

i enjoyed your comments back then, not knowing whom i'm talking to.

I will miss you my friend.
I don't have the words to explain.
Love Stuart

Rest in peace Paul.

Very sad news. I'm glad you had the comfort of friends through to your premature end. We will all miss you

what a shame.. RIP Paul, you were a great guy to get to know over the last couple of years.

for the four guys who put so much time in over the last few weeks - you did a marvellous thing for Paul, hope you can rest up now and if you need any support you know there's a bunch of people here for you.

Rest in peace, Paul. I will always remember you.

Thank you James, Em, John, Jon and all the others who have looked after Paul these last few weeks.

Fiddy Darling. I'm so sorry to hear this news. You little charmer. Always ready to give me a big smacker on the lips...oh eer!

Glad to have met you, you were one of the first geeks I noticed, in your little hat and marvellous attire...lycra or jeans, depending on the day/ride!?

Love to all those who helped Paul in the last few weeks - you are an inspiration to us all.
Thanks.

RIP. Remembering sheltering from the rain on Dunwich beach, and riding along the Wandle. Sorry Christmas took me away from London and i didn't say goodbye.

Our lives are much enriched for having known you. Your presence will be missed but that Fiddy spirit will always be found around the forum.

Rest well Paul, my friend.

Fck! Been away from the forum recently and only just read this. Sad news indeed. Its sad to think I wont see Fiddy again, a truely inspirational man, am just thinking of him now pounding up West Hill, downing pints, and riding home with a frame over his shoulder, what a top old geezer, RIP Fiddy.

My condolences to all his family and friends.

Much admiration to Dancing James and everybody that supported Paul. This must be a very sombre and tiring time for you all.

RIP

never had the pleasure of meeting you, but still feel sad at the passing of a legend.

thoughts go out to friends and family.

i could do the above if no one else closer (hampstead) can?

RIP Mr Fiddy, we only met once or twice. Nonetheless my deepest condolences to all your family and friends.

A sad day it is, but the your spirit will be riding with us forevermore.

Such sad news.

Having only met Paul briefly I can't claim to know him but the love and the actions of his friends speak volumes about the man. James, Em, John and all the others that comforted him to the end, you have been inspirational, truly humbling.

RIP Paul, you will we hugely miss
Ride fast in the other side.

Such sad news to hear we have lost one of the forum's best loved and most charming characters. Paul, you'll be hugely missed. Rest in peace.

Em, James and the others who've done so much to look after and be with Paul during the last few weeks... hope you're doing OK. Thoughts are with you.

james- i can drop off some bread, milk and coffee in about 45min-1h

Sad news. Only met Paul a few times, but an absolute legend and a gent. And in possession of one of my favourite forum quotes (see why I got into cycling thread).

Cycle In Peace dude.

Though I didn't know Paul, condolences and prayers for him and respect to those who stood at his side. RIP
