I did, but didn't get alot sold. Crowds were down, so it was generally a buyer's market. There were indeed alot of nice frames... including some early Italian stuff. Our De Rosa and Fiorelli frames got props but no presidents.

I couldn't find a thing wrong with them. Going on my white Kvale or the Della Santa.
I am covered for modern Campy wheelsets now though.
They are all much nicer than I deserve.

Another enjoyable TC Bike Swap. Fifth year in attendance, first year with a table. And it was especially nice to spend the day with my adult son.
@gomango Missed you this year Grady!
Attendance seemed down from last year, and last year seemed down from the previous year.
We moved on most of the stuff from my stash that I didn't foresee a use for. It was especially fun later in the day to shift stuff off the table into the free bin. Everything was adopted except for a few take-off reflector bundles... go figure?
One of my two frames found a new home, and I have a prospect for the other. Zero for three on the built bikes I brought (I was two for two in the corral last year).
I eventually took some time to look in the final hour. Scored on an NOS Mavic hubbed and rimmed tubular wheel set, and some virtually new in the box MTB shoes (apparently worn a few times and returned).

You were busy with a paying customer. 
Business comes before pleasure. Sorry I missed you, as I was on a very short leash this year.
