If anybody else took pics, feel free to add them. Here is what I saw...

Some offerings from Yeshoney:

And some from Walker:

Here's a bike for you, "Thatismytruck":

What? ANOTHER Elgin Blackhawk? At the same show??? This may turn up in the build section some day.

Stevil isn't happy that Soulshine is unloading:

Some other great stuff outside:

Yeah, this is pretty cool. Look at the headbadge!

Continues outside:

And indoors there is some cool stuff too:

GRIPS!

Some show bikes including my ARMY build. Yes, it won an award.

Nice Peeler!

Wish I could afford these:

Highship needs one of these if anybody has one:

Are these high end frame? I'm not a road bike guy.

One for the BMX'ers

I wound up bringing this home for free. It is rough but you can't beat free. 24" bike.

Another awesome clock:

Rusty Rat Rod Gold:

And a few shots of the gang that was still around.

I'm having a family friend photoshop the Non-RRB member in the middle from the group photo :roll:

Stevil, I think you dropped these? :? ......................... :lol:

 

[Stevil]

How do you keep your bikes so clean?... Wiseguys! I needed those!
Thanks for the pics, still hard to explain to the wife the difference between a bike swap and
a scrap yard. At least we line things up. Goodbye Will, thanks for the space ...good time.
Best of luck at Penn St. See you at Trexlertown..............Stevil

This may help .. A swap meet is a up scale scrap yard ... :mrgreen:

That clock didn't sell when I left. I've seen the guy at all the shows but I don't know his name. Maybe somebody else does.

He was the same guy with the Pope bike and was set up on the right side of the walkway.

You can’t beat the price; the tank alone is worth twice that!

Glad to know you all had a good time and thank you guys for the pics – much appreciated. It would have cost me dearly to go, lots of tempting cool bikes and parts – this is shaping-up to be a great season indeed!

Hi Pete, unfortunately, I was unable to make it because I’m still learning how to read a calendar; there was a time conflict I hadn’t noticed. :?

 

[Bri-in-RI]

Good show and great seeing everyone. I went right from there straight to a party for my 40th B-day so Im just sitting dow now from a loooonnnggg day! To some it all up in one word- tired.

Thanks for the wishes Steve! I'll be at Trexlertown for sure and I hope to see some of you there!

Jim, the dude that puts on the show bought that Pope so maybe if you ask him he could put you in touch.

I'm sure Jim knows who he is then, since he is a regular.

 

[Walker]

I sent Rick the contact info for the guy with the sign, it was Tom Sideleau

 

[Bri-in-RI]

My beard really photographs very well

About the show. it was cold. Always nice to meet up with the gang and talk about the one that got away.

Went home with fewer bikes than I came in with which is a good thing. Sold the all red columbia moto bike with tank right as I was loading it up to go. Come to think of it, I sold 4 bikes while unloading and one while loading up. Gave some stuff away to some happy people. Tried to give a frame/fork away to schwinnray but aparently he's smarter than I thought...

As always, would have been nice if there was more pedestrian traffic so it's not just a bunch of sellers trying to sell to sellers.
