    ...you might also like Dave Moulton's website. Lots of interesting stuff from a veteran framebuilder and cyclist.

    I’m ok. I still have a copy of Richard’s bicycle maintenance book somewhere. I don’t have the jumper to go with it though.

    RB & SB excellent - but in different ways.

    The SB site has technical info/advice/specs it’s hard to find elsewhere (some of it is nowhere else!)

    Yes, I hope it stays online. I have spent way more time than I should have playing with the gear calculator. Gained the confidence to true my own wheels via Sheldon too. Now have a truing stand!

    Sheldon also provided a wealth of information on vintage film cameras like the wonderful Rolleiflex twin lens reflexes
    He worked as a camera repairer for several years concurrently with his cycle work after he impressed the owner of the business by resurrecting a functional camera from a bag of discarded bits intended for the trash can
    A man of many parts
