Nice picture, by the way. Sort of reminds me of one a cousin of my Dad made which showed all the people in a 10,000 person coliseum -- he noted you couldn't make that picture today, because the fire marshal is much more restrictive when you try to use that much flash power than they were in 1947 or so. My new digital cameras are much easier to use, but don't have quite the same sharpness... http://sheldonbrown.com/bike-screens...rn-weston.html The Thorn image was made, if memory serves, along the trail that encircles Weston Reservoir, Weston, Mass. Is/was there a Thorn importer in the states, or did you have to have that shipped from the UK? Pat Email address works as is. |

I have been coming to this group for more than a few years now and don't really think I have offended anyone. I admitted that I didn't look far enough to the right side of the web page in question. I apologized to Sheldon. So F--k off. |

Let me amend one thing: keep digging. -- Michael Press |

Did not Sheldon Brown invent the bicycle?
=v= He sketched the design in Da Vinci's notebook. It was misattributed to Da Vinci, though. _Jym_ |

Quoth Bill Sornson:
Besides, I highly doubt thatSheldonwas "offended" or insulted in the least. Au contraire! He was DEEPLY mortified. This is the worst thing that has ever befallen him, and as a result of this thread he has so far made three rather inept suicide attempts. The poor schlub is so upset he can't even manage to expiate his tarnished honor effectively! *First he tried breathing the exhaust from his Greenspeed recumbent wheelchair, but that didn't work. *Then he tried to hang himself with brake cable housing, but, of course, it just stretched out and left him standing on the floor. *Then he tried to make a noose out of SIS indexed housing, but it was too stiff to tie a proper hangman's noose with. Finally, he just gave up in profound despair, and now he's huddling under his desk, refusing food or drink, hoping that will do the trick. Time will tell.
