RIP Brian, one of the good guys is no more, my thoughts go out to his family. Devastating.
I first met Brian here on Retrobike, later we became colleagues and just connected. Despite the long distance we managed to ride together a few times, both in Holland and in Scotland. He left me for dead going uphill on his beloved 95 Explosif singlespeed. He was such a genuine nice guy, very fit, nuts about his bikes and so very much alive and kicking.
Ride on Brian ....
