Hope to be there to pay big respect and say hello.....

asm I reckon some form of helmet mounted tribute should be mandatory. Goes off to find an xmas decoration

On the CR List theyve been talking about riding whichever of your bikes was most inspired by Sheldon. Could be a fixed wheel, could be your twin handlebar'd 48 gear project beast with left side drive. Its just about celebrating his unique approach to cycle construction...

to be fair he's really responsible for me riding a bike. I'll decide closer to the time. He practically built my bikes with his own hands :P

Add my name to the list. SB inspired my 3 speed Roy Thame.

I've cross-posted this to ACF now. You can find the thread here:

That is f*cking excellent.

edit just checked it 2/3 of a page with 'that' picture too.

and the ride gets a mention, great!

it does????

i mean of course it does.

wow, that's excellent.

i must admit though i'm slightly surprised how few people have added themselves to the list for the ride...

He helped me build my wheels, I am surprised also.

i have been a little lazy about promoteing it... dont really have an excuse, i have emailed LCC and the clubs mentioned, so we might get a lot of non-fourmangers around

I'm sending a copy of the paper to Harris who want to pass it on to the family. My good deed for the day.

I'm up for it too. On the fixie-converted ratbike that wouldn't have existed without Sheldon's site, notably the wheel builds and gear calculation.

Will cross-pollinate with the London Singlespeed bunch...

: P

I'm in, probably my mate too....
