classic rendezvous weekend coming up

May 20-22nd, Greensboro, NC. Anyone going? I will only be there on the 22nd for the bike show and buy/sell/swap meet. I'm going to try to bring 3 bikes to display in the show (car space permitting) - my Mclean and 2 raleigh track bikes since both Mcleans and english bikes are show themes this time. I would bring my geared raleigh pro also but I will not have room I'm sure. Here's what I'm bringing:

should I lose the carradice bag off the Mclean, to keep it simple?

and here's a raleigh family portrait, just because I already had the 2 track bikes outside:

I'm also bringing an 80s bianchi track frameset to try and sell:

I hope to see some of you there!

Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

One of these years I'll make it. But it's a long haul at a busy time of year, and this year it's the same weekend as Lake Pepin.

Nice trio Norskagent. Wish I could attend, but, alas, not this time.

Wish I could but 350 miles one way.

. I'd be interested in looking at that Bianchi as well.

Birmingham is another 150 and I'm going.

(But I already have to be at a business conference that's sort of that direction earlier in the week)

I'm taking my '78 Raleigh Pro, keeping with the theme; and trying to get banned with my single speed

Room not yet booked. I'm probably going to end up at the Marriott. Anyone else, or any reason I shouldn't?

Well, I HAD been planning to go. There are some really interesting people already confirmed as going.

The plan was that my Hilton Wrigley would be in my hands and Dale was eager to showcase it as a truly rare English marque.

BUT, the frame is still in Norris L's hand in Yorkshire awaiting a bit of work. Sigh. So, it won't make it in time, and there are family matters now pressing.

Guess it'll have to wait until next year.

I'm jealous of those going.

Have fun, and take lots and lots of photos!!!

Bikes: A few

I'm just a county away and going to be there for sure. Nothing worthy to sell.... maybe a Dawes race bike. Mostly looking for the bits I need to finish a few projects, not start another one ( last part comes from the wife )
