[Leroy Ostrander]

I've never been to the event but plan on going this year. Maybe someone else that's been before can comment on its quality.

I yanked this off of Craigslist:

I'm planning on going with my son. We are both looking for a few items.

 

[Nickinator]

[MplsCoaster]

Pretty sure RustyK and me are going!
Nick, are you going to have a booth?
Maybe we should try to all meet up somewhere there

 

[Fat Willy]

That sounds like a plan. Let's try to figure out a time to meet up. Can someone get ahold of Thirstee?

Got some good pictures of the some of the bikes and people that showed up
Nickinator and his Mom, RustyK, 5 speed and his hubs, Bogmonster, Fat Willy and his whole family...

Think Nick bought this one:

RustyK and Nick's Mom

Nick and his 1899 bike

A very Nice Tiger

Nick brought his pride and joy for RustyK and me to ride
75lbs of gorgeous bike but geared so well is was easy and super smooth ride

Call him Nicky No Hands :lol:

Nick brought this one in for me but I resisted (for now) Could be a very interesting bike…

RustK got a few things
I got a few things too for not too much money, (That's an aluminum chainring on the lower left )

Kept my promise not to buy another bike but here was some good deals there
Had a lot of good conversations with people and am looking forward to seeing them all again

Thanks for looking
Steve

Picked this Huffy Rail up from Nick for my son...We are planning on a 20" boardtracker. It is in pretty rough shape but I have already got the headset unfrozen and some bars mocked up that I had lying around. I will start a build thread soon since we are going all out with it.

That's a really cool idea for that uniquely styled frame
Great to hear you got the head set loose
I can't wait to see what you do with it, get going!! :lol:

Pressure from you now?!?! Hahaha...My kid has been bugging me about it since we got it home...It will be ready by spring. I have two other projects that I need to work on as well.
