R.I.P. Sheldon Brown. I'm glad his pages still exist both as useful resource and as a time capsule of what the best of the old web looked like: useful, content rich, no ads, fast loading, stable urls.

I got down to the bit about Sheldon Brown being Harriet’s husband and was “wait that Sheldon Brown?”

That was when I realized what site I was on.

No ads? I assume you have an adblocker installed? Without one, you do see some ads, although by far not so obnoxious as on other sites...
I was at another OG-style web page [1] today, and thought the same thing. I found a Badger airbrush, a 155 Anthem [2], that I completely forget I had.

There is an aliexpress ad on top of the page.
