Anyone headed to the Expo this weekend? If I can swing it, I may try and get there Sunday.

I'm more likely to stop by Saturday. I'm most interested in the speaker doing the antiques.

incazzare.
I was thinking about it, but I'll probably be too lazy to drive over.

Heh - I love group rides with Curtis when he rides the high wheeler.
Steal of the century - King SS cages...$10!
The dude who owns/makes Silca couldn't be a more personable, fun dude. Always nice seeing some familiar faces. Noodles with PCB is a great time. The expo is definitely improving!

Wow, thanks so much for the great reporting/pics NJgreyhead. 
What a great variety of sights.
Any pics per chance of Winter Bicycle's booth?

Spoke to Jamie who was there but I don't recall him having any frames present. Richard Sachs was there, as was Engin, Peter Weigle and many many more. I do not recall seeing Shamrock but then they would not likely have registered in my mind...

Shamrock was there, but it didn't really pull me in. I really liked silca' booth, winter and chapman.

Shamrock Cycles was worth a visit at NAHBS a few years ago.
Some interesting design work on his bikes and one of the nicer fellows in attendance.
As for Chapman and Winter (Estlund), I follow their work on their Flickr's occasionally and I like what I see as well.
