like everyone else i'm so sad to hear of the passing on of the esteemed mr. brown.

without his website i would probably never have built my first wheel. nor would i have taken the inspiration of the london messengers on their fixed wheels further and tried building and riding one myself -at least not 9 years ago. i may not have found the BOB list nor this one. an inspiring and generous spirit.

thank you capt. bike for showing us how it should be done. tailwinds.
