That tall trike was a hoot!

I had a pretty good time pawing through bike parts and chatting with BFers [MENTION=57649]iab[/MENTION], [MENTION=353902]Steve Whitlatch[/MENTION], [MENTION=324221]bargainguy[/MENTION], and [MENTION=294121]jjhabbs[/MENTION]. I noticed that Lon Haldeman had a booth (does he usually?), but I was too in awe to say hi and introduce myself. My friend Rob's "Fatquinox" had a prime spot for display and a snazzy new paint job.

Hardly anything said "take me home" this year. I was keeping an eye out for Centurion Ironman frames and SPD boots, but didn't see any of the former in my size, or of the latter at a reasonable price. Only ended up buying a set of used 50/34 chainrings for $10. Oh well, actually buying bike parts is about #3 or #4 on the list of why I go to the swap meet each year.
