the japanese frames were pretty nice, but $500 per frame was pretty steep. I am not saying that they werent worth it, but they were used and some were pretty scratched up... something like that deserves to be built up right, so now you are looking at spending over 1,000 beans on a nice racing frame that still looks all scratched up. again, not saying it wasnt worth it, i just felt it was kinda steep for what i was looking for. I scored a few things that I really wanted, a pair of bullhorns, a stelle italia saddle (white), some clipless shoes and a 650 front tire...all for a pursuit frame that I am building up. All in all it was a blast, lots of cool philly people there.... but the first poster was right, lots of JUNK as well. I cant wait for the next swap on July 9th.
