True that, we have had plenty of them in the past and now we have MADE so things are looking up.

There is a vintage show in Albany in May.

Could be another small Bike Portland one again in the run up to MADE

And it seems like we should be able to have a real one with MADE firing things up, maybe.

Heading to Philadelphia Bike Expo this weekend.
There is a seminar on Vintage bikes. All bikes represented, and I am certain Vintage will be among them.
(I am bringing my 1972 Schwinn Superior for a group ride Sat AM. Represent!)

Something alongside MADE would certainly make sense. And thanks for the tip on the show in Albany, will definitely check that out!

edit - looking at the pictures from prior Albany shows it doesn't seem like there's much of a road bike showing. Oh well, gonna bring the PX-10 anyway.

Yeah, its a funky little show, mostly not our jam but a show anyway.

There's usually the Albany Tweed ride the same day that ends at the show.

The show usually has a good mix of stuff besides us and I go anyway. ;)

Before pics, nothing too exciting but the pedals and the original chainring were pretty bad, they came out alright and didn't use the chainring yet.

The nasty rusty, spots on the frame just got grease rubbed into them as anything more invasive would corrupt the very fragile paint that is already in a poor state.

There is no paint or further mitigation in store for this, it is what it is. :twitchy:
