I was a bit on the fence about going to the swap meet. There's nothing I need or want (although there's a Bruce Gordon frame on ebay that fits me....), and was happy to get in a 25 mile ride today. Living vicariously through these sorts of reports from the swap meet is enough for me.

The Challenge tan walls will go on my Paramount if I ever get it finished. Sprinters will go on a 10 speed Shimano Velocity set of wheels I am building. Not quite sure what bike they will go on yet, still deciding what frame is getting the Utlegra treatment. The other tire is a spare. Yes I have wheels to stretch them on laying around as well. I got wheels all over the place. I trip over them. LOL
