My sincere condolences go out to David's friends and family.

David came over as truly kind and gentle fellow. On the Tweed Run 1 I offered him and Bruno 'stabling' for their supremely fine bicycles, at my house, during the drinks party. They came in and charmed my little lad (David gave him some cufflinks!), and I realised once more what a great, friendly and trusting place the forum is.

Thanks Bruno for a very fitting tribute to your friend. I hope to see you on a ride very soon.

That right there^^^

I'm too busy these days to look at the forum much during the day, so I didn't see this thread till today. I'm genuinely sad at his passing.

I met David (and Bruno) at the Prince Arthur before Tweed Run 1. He was a really nice bloke, on a bloody lovely Hetchins as I recall. I saw him again on a fair few other rides, and it was always a pleasure to see him again. A real gentleman, of style and great humour.

Bruno, if you're coming on the compass ride/to easts tomorrow we'll have a drink to his memory.

Fellow forumengers, prostate cancer is a very common form of the disease and can strike any of us, but caught early it can be successfully treated. My father is in remission after spotting the problem early and getting diagnosed and treated quickly. If you're not sure all is well with your plumbing don't delay - see your GP.

Be there for a drink, going to Trafalgar Square first

I never had the pleasure of meeting David, sounds like a true gent who will be sadly missed. Keep riding wherever you are sir.
Probably not quite apt but I bloody love this forum and all the genuine-ness in everyone!

RIP I lost my Dad to the same in 2003, so sad to have lost another true cycling gent.......

Hi all,
Been a while since anyone posted here.
David's daughter and her friends are riding to Paris to raise money for Everyman Male cancer campaign. Details can be found here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread104843.html

They would definitely appreciate any support at all.

Didn't know but looks like a Dude, respect Colnago Tribe, R I P

Hi all,

My name is Sophie, I am Dave's daughter. I am so overwhelmed by this thread. All of your kind words, stories and pictures...what a wonderful thing to have found.

One of my favorite rides with Dad and Bruno, was when we all met on Brick Lane at 3am (obviously for some Bagels!) and cycled to the top of Primrose Hill just in time for sunrise.

Three years have passed and I'm cycling to Paris with five friends in May, we will be wearing Dad's vintage jerseys and I am cycling one of the Colnago's he built (Bruno is helping me get it ride fit again!)

This thread has more info or the ride and the charity we are supporting:

Thank you all again so much, I cant tell you how much it all means,

Sophie Abrahamovitch

Best of luck on the ride, Sophie.

Best of Luck

I just thought this might be worth adding in here

Hello all

Posting here on behalf of some very close friends of mine who are about to cycle to Paris to raise money for 'Everyman Male Cancer Campaign'.
They are a group of very close friends, one of whom's Dad unfortunately passed away from Prostate cancer three years ago. Its a very real cause for all the males amongst us and something that can be drastically reduced if the right early intervention strategies are put in place.
The Dad was a keen and active user of the forum, there's a memorial thread for him here:
http://www.lfgss.com/thread44217.html

It's a really good cause and they definitely appreciate all the support they can get, be it technical or actual sponsorship.

Thanks very much,
All your support is much appreciated.

David is very much missed at forum events, it still feels odd to bump into Bruno on his own. When I first became part of the community they were both seen at nearly everything I went to.

I hope the ride goes well.

that's funny, haven't been on the forum for a couple of weeks, First thing I see is
R.I.P. Singing Pie. Yes they were very sincere comments and much appreciated

Bruno

James thank you so much for the donation, hopefully Bruno will introduce us on the next ride, I missed the tweed ride this weekend as I was cycling to Whitstable, training for Paris. Ill be at the next one though!

Thanks Again
