Crud those times don't work for me this weekend. Hey Kpug if you go and see a nice touring frame in my size get the guys number so I can call him if it doesn't sell. You know about what I need with a short 29" inseam. Like the Volare only more relaxed geometry.

EH: Ditto on the touring frame and fork as I told Kelly above. I think I want to build a nice tour/commuter bike ala the Surley Cross Check but I don't want to spend that kind of coinage and I'd rather have a vintage one anyway. So keep yer eyes peeled for something in my size, not any larger than 51cm - 52cm max. as I said I'm a 29" inseam. I don't care what color and if the guy will give you his number send it my way. Are you taking your camera? Dumb question I know. Don't go to any trouble but if you happen to think about it take a peek. Thanks a bunch

EH you're going? Sweet! Maybe we will see each other and say hi! I've got a short beard, am 5'6" and will be wearing a wool funky colored plaidish/houndstoothy cycling cap...
SB.....I've got a lugged Bianchi that might fit the bill...It's set up as a ghetto SS cyclocross bike now but it could be made into a nice touring rig. PM me.

I totally scored! Big time! I went on a budget but ended up walking out with some great stuff....I got a Huret Jubilee front derailleur for $5, a Campy high flange hub w/skewer for $5, a cycle computer that's new in the box for free, a clean set of Galli brake levers for $10 and a brand new truing stand for $20....I'm sooo stoked! My bro bought his GF a sweet Cannondale for $60 and picked up 3 saddles for another $30 including a Rolls. Good times!
Sorry I missed ya East Hill!
The biggest highlight for me was a green Paramount Tandem...A truely splendid sight! I was drooling...Oh ya! And sorry SB.....I didn't see any smaller touring bikes...

Darn!
I was there, looking over an interesting Moto mixte, and got to ogle a Bowden Spacelander.
I was looking for a 27.2 seatpost, but the couple that apparently made it to the swap meet had sold before I got there.
When were you there? I was there around 10.00 until about 12.30?

Ah! We just missed each other! I got there at 7:15 or so and left around 9:45...That Moto mixte was a sweet lil bike...The Bowden was kool too. Did you see my old full chrome frame sitting up by the mixte? The guy I sold it to doesn't want it anymore which sucks 'cause it is soooo pretty. I might buy it back and ebay it 'cause it's a bit big for me....

Next time, ask early!
No, although I am still thinking about that mixte! I did spot something which I may get later, though. I have to contact another member to see if he has that part. If he needs it, I'll pick it up for him.

I was there for about 20 minutes at 10:30 (I was on my way to ride out in Auburn/Black Diamond).
I saw the Bowden bike - very cool. I took a quick spin through the show; most of what was there when I got there was not for me (more Sting Rays and old cruisers than lightweight bikes). I did see a pretty good Bike Friday New World Tourist I would have liked but it was sold.
