I've seen (and participated in) a few threads recently which have been ribbing the infamous wok-smuggling niche-wh0re we know as SheldonA.
Just to restore some balance, I thought I'd start this thread to show our appreciation since he's a great bloke IRL and did a brilliant job (with help) at SSEC10 and has taken some great photos of me and my mates at various events and even just on randon Afan trips.
So, post something nice about him just to give him a warm fuzzy feeling. And maybe some good pics if you've got them.
Play nice 😉
he's so niche no-one's ever heard of him.

*only playing
He's an honoury member of the Clent duffers too. We love him really. It's only cause he's currently poorly off the bike that we have to rib him electronically instead of face to face.Hope to see him out on one of his so niche it's now come mainstream bikes soon , get well soon mate.
the chap rates highly in mr FG's book.
no photos coz i iz crap on puter, soz
there's a nice pic of him in MBR taken at SSEC. Full article next month apparently, BIG pics 🙂
D'oh! didn't see the other thread
Who the F is
???SeldonA
No idea but I've heard him mentioned in husted tones a few times.
He's very big in Wales.
Seems like a decent bloke to me. Offered me a beer on MM last year whist I was slogging round on the Singlespeed.
Never got it, mind.
What is wok smuggling?
Hear, hear he is a very very nice man.
What is wok smuggling?
Its a euphemism for being hunch-backed 🙂
so we have;
someone a lot of people have never heard of
who undertakes some sort wok related activity no-one understands
whilst being a spiritual leader of some sort of fringe group
?
and we're supposed to post something nice about them?
aye Jolly nice guy Sheldon is. I Met him through STW (posted something up about riding in the cotswolds 2/3 years whenever i went to see my parents) turns out I kinda knew of him as he went to the same school as me.
Been on numerous rides with him since.
Does seem as though everyone knows him.Few cases in point
Did the welsh c2c with StevetheBarbarian off here, didn't really know the rest of them. Sat in the pub on the 1st night. After a bit of chatting this Guy from derby says. "yea.. i know sheldon, i bought his pompino frame off him"
Another one was the other week i did a 10mile TT in bristol. The owner of the bike shop also knew him! small world
What is wok smuggling?
As above
sorry tried to find a picture, anyone got one?
I'll always remember him as...someone I....met once
Never met him. He's from "up there" isn't he?
However, I remember a lovely photograph of a spaniel with its ears mimicking the shape of a tree behind them.
Once of the best 😀 photos ever on here.
(I hope it was him anyway!)
He rides an Indy Fab with proper sized wheels, that alone gets my vote
He's dumped the 650B towel rail then, n_f?
Nope. He's got 2 indy fabs
R,he aint a bad geezer,organized a not too shabby SS doo a few weeks ago,get well soon,ya Mincer !.......
I've never met him but i hear he's an attentionwhoring fatnacker that can't ride for shite.

is he about to lob the towel rail down there like a shot put ?
No idea I've never met him.
I also hear he's a bit of a sailorboy.

Blushes in the corner, move along nothing to see here 😉
I'll be back on the bike one day soon if all these pills stop rattling inside me ;-(
Where's the spaniel?
Was wondering when you'd make an appearance 🙂
How's the recovery going?
did i miss something ? whats up with him/you ?
Spaniel will be climbing the Walls at home probably as I'm trying to leave work now!
Recovery ok thanks done a couple of short road rides and feel ok, dropped medication down to 22pills a day as from this morning! Still a way to go but on the right road now! Fingers crossed the alps trip in 2 weeks will be ok to ride 🙂
whats up with him ?
Nothing. He's just after more attention.
Trailrat, not wanting to go into too much on here but got issues with insides spent 3 weeks with suspected food poisioning then spent a week in hospital being pumped full of drugs and stuff, been diagnosed with bowel disease Left a few stone lighter (I've lost the wok) and little energy.
Oh, that's bad 🙁
I thought you were suffering from an attention-defecit after SSEC finished 😉
Sorry to here that Sheldon, wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the Alps trip comes good for you... in the meantime here's a couple of picks of your former self to enjoy and other people to point and laugh at.

Healing vibes chap - was the stress of SSEC im sure !

Get well soon Sheldon
Fortunately its usually his nearest and dearest taking the pi55 😀
We love you Don X
He's alright I suppose.
For a ginger.
When I first met Sheldon he taught me everything he knew about mountain biking. Luckily I've learnt a LOT more since then 😉
Get well soon.

Get well soon mate 🙂
sheldon? he's ok. Mandi's nicer 😉
I met him once on top of the Col Du Clent in the depths of winter, i also stalked him for short period at HONC this year before he wimped out and went home early 😉
he's a top bloke who's taken me riding in some truly filthy wet conditions to show me stuff in the FOD. One of the nicest most genuine chaps I've met (just goes to show I've lead a sheltered life) 😉
In fact all the niche boys I've met have been jolly decent except that singlespeedstu chap, he got me very drunk indeed (or at least helped finish me off) he's a bad man
wot mrsflash said 😆
get well soon fella 🙂

I'm sure Mandi will feed you back up to full riding health in no time.
Get well soon.

I can't remember "finishing you off" Though I did wander what mayo was doing on my cheek the next morning.
Stu, I think you'll find that wasn't me (as far as I can remember 😕 ). The Swede did say something about "coming" to see you that evening, so that may explain it 😀
too much of this made him ill
