No treasure came home with me. I saw a lot of nice vintage Italian frame sets, but my barn is already full. Nevertheless, I had a good time and it was a worthwhile way to spend the day.

My friend bought a nice mtb, so now I have someone to go riding with.

I bought a few parts, mostly vintage. Overall, I thought the show was not as good as last year.

Bought nothing... but Bike Friday gave me a hat for having such an old Pocket Rocket

In general I think I have too few tattoos and too-skinny tires for the SF Bike Expo.

Same. Bummer that the BF guys did not have any 451 parts handy... I had my mini-velo and I was in a buying mood. But hey, I did visit that Samoan restaurant across from the Cow Palace. Mmmm!!!

There was one dealer with a bunch of the Masi mini-velos from Japan in various configurations.

We need to do a local BF swap, and really SWAP.

I bought a ti bottle opener and about 6 boxes of spokes. And a back pack for my wife.
The Ryan Leech trials exhibition was worth the admission by itself and the dirt jumpers are nuts, as are the kids doing bmx tricks on fixies.
