Jobst is being moved to a trauma rehabilitation facility (Valley
Medical Center) later today. He's made some good progress in the past
two days, both mentally and physically, and is ready for the rehab
process. When I get more details on how to contact or visit Jobst, I
will relay the information to the group. Jobst is communicating better
and is much more mobile, taking walks around the ward. He's also
regaining his appetite.

Maybe there's a WIFI available and he'll be posting soon.
Glad to hear that he's improving.

Excellent news. The walking around is huge, as is the appetite.

Brad, did you ever think of going into PR? You seem to have an
affinity for it. Me? I'm just an attention whore. ;)

I don't know if they survived, but I'm pretty sure Jobst has been
riding the same design wheels for years. Shimano cassette hubs, 36
spoke front and rear, 3 cross, with 15/17 gauge spokes, and Mavic
MA-40 silver finished rims (or something similar).

MA-2 rims, and I'm pretty sure the spokes are 15/16 gauge.

I'm curious about the fate of the frame. He doesn't have a backup, and
it's not a stock size!

It is, up to 68cm, at Gunnar:

and Jobst is well connected with various Bay Area
framebuilders with a bank of good will throughout the
industry. Equipment is not a problem here.
