Worth seeing, but it's not a vintage lightweight show. Minimal Masi, Colnago, Peugeot, or even Varsinental content.

Last year I saw a couple of Schwinn Paramounts, EG. Bates, Hetchins f/f, Raleigh Pro, and not much else. But, I did buy a couple of things at this past one. But, it is unfortunately mostly middleweight crusier and muscle bikes kind of a show. I think we could use a real swap meet that is vintage lightweight specific or even newer road stuff with some vintage in this area.
