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!

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!
