Video from the Madison Wisconsin Bike swap. Nice haul
Hey guys,
Wonder what a $1000 bucks gets you at a swap. My buddy Cyril and I had a lot of fun. Check out the vid.

That Jack Taylor tandem was pretty sweet! I hope it found a good home!

p.s. I'm amazed that the C'dale with Sante went for so little money. Nobody else wants Sante?

Great video thanks for taking us along. The Sante' Cannondale would have been hard to pass up
That saddle would go with my Batavus. The Colts are nice saddles but mine creaks a bit for some reason

BTW- I seem to recall reading that the 1984 Trek 420 was the only mixte that Trek ever put into production.

Pretty sure you are correct. Mrs. Doc’s 420 mixte is the only one I’ve ever seen in person.
Nicely made, too.

Can anyone comment on this? Are they better suited to a wall-hanger than a bike that gets used?

Fah, thanks for the reminder of how much I MISSED, being mostly chained to my table. I woulda arm-wrestled you (and lost, most likely) for the Park dropout alignment tool.
I definitely saw Cyril somewhere; maybe he stopped by my table. Unless there was someone else there with three like-new red Cannondale bags.....

The group came out and was supposed to be a fancy Ultegra group. The parts hold up just fine and are durable. However the finish would get destroyed for the average racer. It was meant to be on sport bikes that enthusiasts would ride but with a "luxury" feel. At the shop I worked at we called it the Answer to a question nobody asked! LOL.. Sold a few bikes with it.
