Man, I love bike swap meets!

Who knows what treasures will get unearthed? Or what bargains? This morning, five bucks got me a Silca Imperio frame pump with Campy head, Zefal hp X4 - both in excellent working and cosmetic condition - a pair of vintage bottle cages - a REG and something else, a decent Concor Supercorsa saddle, and a bike stand. My buddy picked up an early Trek in his size, outfitted in excellent condition Superbe Pro, Tange HS, and Campy hubs for $75. Not a bad thirty minute shopping spree!

A 30 minute spree you say? ... With deals like that, I would have hung in for at least 45 minutes!

Beautiful scores! I love those Concors SC saddles! I have a small collection of them! :-) They really make an Italian bike look old world Italian! A while back ago I scored one on a flip that said in Italian "Welcome aboard"! Unfortunately, I sold the Italian bike, but made the mistake of not putting a diff saddle on the bike. I still regret that dumb move! :-) Swap meets, flea markets, garage sales, thrift stores, pawn shops, I love them all! Talk about getting really excited about something! Like you said, you never know what you are going to find...thats the real fun! Congratulations on all your socres!

The guy had a white one too. Although looking pretty beat up, I'm wishing I'd thrown that in too now. I may go back for day two tomorrow to see if he's still there. Don't need any of this stuff but Yeesh! -I can't hardly look a gift horse in the mouth either.
