This was the 3rd year I attended the Rockford show & swap. As usual it did not disappoint! The swap meet was great with dozens of vendors and plenty of deals to be had. I did manage to score a few items I've been looking for (usually limit my spending to 200 bucks, but this year I went crazy and saved up $250)! The show had classes from the 70s thru modern reproductions. There were a hundred+ bikes in the show, I'll attach pics of some that may be of interest to this group:

Some sweet Schwinns & a re-pop CBR 3-bar 20".

How about a 81 Koz Kruiser S/A drum brake signed by the man himself?

I'm a Redline guy at heart so naturally I gravitate towards the "grail" bikes the RL-20s & RL-20IIs.

Gotta love a PL signed by Stompin Stu! Bonus points for the dirt-skirt!

I remembered to save enough cash for a T-shirt this year.

Real RL20’s or a mix of the RBK junk in there too? 😂

There were two RBKs in the show, curiously one was in the modern repro class & one was in the freestyle class. The pic of the group of RL-20s & IIs are real, one vendor owned most of them. Lotsa $$ sitting there! :21:
I should have a close up of one that was signed by R.L. Osborn...I'll see if I can find it.

I'm a mid school fool, I'd have a hard time walking past that Haro Monocoque. And the blue Gary Turner is straight up murderous!

I dig that one too! Came real close to ordering a Gary Turner frame a couple of years ago, the funds had to go elsewhere but I still want one!
