He was a great source of knowledge and had a great sense of humor. I can't think of seeing anything bad written about him anywhere. He will be missed. I would hope that his site is maintained somehow for others to use as a reference. <BR/><BR/>What is the head tube angle on that bike in the photo? <BR/><BR/>Also, I have to agree with Mr. Ritz. Just one more bike... I'm going to assume that Mr. Ritz was not married? :)Steve Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04000254083516026697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142450.post-83532657501304888382008-02-08T18:08:00.000-06:002008-02-08T18:08:00.000-06:00You should come out to my HPRA race in CR this Oct...You should come out to my HPRA race in CR this Oct. Nearly every participant is a wealth of knowledge of this nature. I suppose thats what you get that when you're racing with a group of elders who have been designing, building, and testing the machines they race for the past 30 or 40 years. <BR/>It's part of why I work as hard as I do to get people involved, make them notice whats possible. There has to be younger generations in the mix to keep the knowledge base alive.<BR/><BR/>DGNeve_r_esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329919180492986371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142450.post-70803732793810798752008-02-08T16:17:00.000-06:002008-02-08T16:17:00.000-06:00once a week, over my lunch break I walk 2 blocks n...once a week, over my lunch break I walk 2 blocks north and either visit w/ Ron or sit and listen. the few wheels I have are always spinning in my head on the return to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142450.post-90955766970433151282008-02-08T14:18:00.000-06:002008-02-08T14:18:00.000-06:00now, before y'all start jumpin' my shit for not me...now, before y'all start jumpin' my shit for not mentioning your name, relax. <BR/>i THOUGHT of you, for sure.<BR/>but what i'd like to see here in the comment section are the names of folks who YOU think fit this description, and why?<BR/>and share some stories...<BR/><BR/>and to those of you i mentioned and to those of whom i thought while writing this, thanks, guys!the mostly reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12130108316136221840noreply@blogger.com
