I'm thinking about going and selling/trading what bike stuff I have that I don't want/need, but is anyone else from Rat Rod Bikes going too?
Anyone going to the bicycle swap meet in Springfield, Missouri on May 15th?

Well, I don't know if anyone else is going to be at the 30th annual Springfield, Missouri bicycle swap meet today, but I'll be there.
Okay, I don't have a ton of photos of the swap meet, but I have enough to prove that there was a swap meet on Sunday. For some reason, probably because I was just in a rush to get set up, I didn't take photos of my own stuff I had for sale/trade. I did get photos of what I bought/traded for, though.
One guy, who's name escapes me at the moment, had a 1950 Montgomery Ward/Hawthorne just like my RRBBO15 bike, Dumpster Diamond, except his was a stock survivor! I just had to get some photos comparing the two.
Another guy had this custom-built swing bike. I never rode one of these before, but I always wanted to try one out after I learned about them. Thankfully, I got to take it for a spin, and I quickly understood why he wanted me to practice just going straight first. It's a challenge just to go in a straight line, but once I got the hang of it, turning and twisting was a little easier to figure out. This thing is squirrely, sketchy, and downright fun! I need to get me one of these!
These are all the photos of the swap meet that I've got. I shot photos earlier today of all the stuff I bought/traded for, which I'm either going to try to edit now, or early tomorrow morning so I can post them here as well.
