Earlier in the year a number of us who are regulars on uk.rec.cycling and also members of the
Cyclists' Touring Cub (CTC), the UK's largest and oldest cycling organisation (125 years this
year), proposed a motion to the CTC honouring Sheldon Brown for his tireless work.

I am pleased to say that this was approved, and the CTC have duly presented a Certificate of
Commendation.

Coo. Well done SB

Not a bad job either GC

I'm sure there are many others as knowledgeable as Sheldon, but none so sharing.

And none so pleasant and fun about it -- I've seen nary a flame or mean comment, only nicely spoken
helpful advice.

I need an excuse to go to his shop; it's not out of range for me. I'll be in the area trying a bbq
joint with my buddy, we'll stop in, but...what for?

Conical washers. Yeah, that's the ticket!

What a SUPER idea.

You are a legend in my mind, Sheldon, and have helped me on several occasions.

I have today received the framed Certificate and accompanying Citation, both of which I will be
shipping to Sheldon soonest. It seems appropriate, though, to announce this via Usenet, and to
post below a scanned image of the Certificate - as a form of virtual presentation. The original
is, I hasten to add, nicely framed with gilt and calligraphy - any deficiency in the image is due
to my ineptitude with the scanner and the fact that I neglected to scan the certificate before it
was framed.

I haven't scanned the Citation as it's in a sealed envelope (having written the thing you would
think I'd have a copy, but no...) - no matter, though. We all know what Sheldon does. And nobody
does it better.

Sheldon, if it's not too presumptuous, on behalf of the many British cyclists to whom you have
offered your wisdom over the years - thank you.

Hear, hear! With this new found fame Sheldon will probably have to grow a beard and hair to go

Sheldon with a beard? That would just be tooo strange!

Nice, very nice and thanks for thinking of doing this! Congratulations, Sheldon.

How about we declare a "Sheldon Brown Appreciation Day"? Does anyone in Mass. have time to organize
a parade? We can all ride in formation with our POWerwheels and Real Man saddles. April 1 seems like
an appropriate day.

Cute, but looks too much like the Duke Devil (Maryland Terp here, Class of '77).

Actually, Sheldon has done quite a lot of work with tires.

If a Real Man Saddle is a requirement, I'll just cheer from the sidelines. 🙂

Goodness me! I started this thread 4 years ago and it's resurfaced! You have to be careful of what
you say in case it's resurrected and used as evidence against you. I wonder if anyone wants to dig
up those helmet arguments I used to have with Tom Kunich?

Anyway, good on you Sheldon, it's people like you that keep the world turning in the right
direction.

C'mon now - if it was up to Sheldon, the world would turn in the LEFT direction. ;-)

But I still think he's "da man"... congrats, Sheldon!
