That pic of CliffordK's funny bike is the real money shot for me, it's also got the Thompson, Land Shark and the purple and blue one behind the Thompson is a Strawberry that is hen's teeth on a good day. All three gorgeous in their own right, the paint on all were something to see for me, especially the Land Shark, the Thompson is custom built in Olympia and stunning from every aspect. This was from Sunday and while the builder thing didn't really materialize, these and others represented very well and were well worth the showing up. The tandem is another Velocult gem and they have been working on it as it has improved greatly in condition since the last time we were there so it is cooler than ever. The Legnano is a "rusteration" and also obviously also very cool.

A bit of pre-show conversation with @
RiddleOfSteel, @
Dfrost and @
CliffordK. Among the bikes you can see here are my Montello, RiddleOfSteel's Paramount and @
merziac's Merz (recently reunited with its original luggage). The Serotta Huffy up on the wall is one of my favorites of the VC permanent collection.
The space organization made the bikes a bit hard to photograph.

Andy Antipas brought a couple of beauties to the show -- a restored 60-something Galmozzi and a powder-coated (though it doesn't look like it) Colnago Super.
CliffordK got my vote for most impressive feat of manliness by riding this TT bike up from Eugene. He tells me that's a 61T big chainring.
I know nothing about this one, except that it's cool.
Velo Cult contributed this late 60's Legnano "restoration."
