Very moving to read this thread: I knew Paul pretty well for over 30 years & can say that he was never happier [or fitter] than when he found this community & within its influence started his rotating collection of gossamer hardware . . . .
He cycled the 50 miles down here a couple of times on bikes I wouldn't [& couldn't] ride 50 metres; & his emails became ever-larger with their attachments of Italian or Japanese bike-porn.
Glad to see he was so appreciated within this community.
This is a lovely post. Thanks for telling us.
