9th annual vintage bicycle show (brantford )pic heavy!!!

[icyuod2]

well i just returned from the brantford vintage bicycle show. let me just say, too figgin cool.
the property is incredable, the bikes were awesome and the peeps we're friendly!
due to a busy schedual, we didn't have long to stick around (world cup soccer and all. )
took lots of pic's. didn't find a short raleigh crank, but i didnt come home empty handed either.

now this is mainly a canadian bike show, but i saw a little of everything there. even saw more than a handful of cwc bicycles.

anyhoo, here's some pic's to get ya started
first thing i saw, i beaut of a 1912 fully restored harley (i've seen it and his flying merkel at a few different shows)
him and his old man just finished the oldest harley in canada. a 1910.
told me i could drive this one away for $55000, but warned me it wouldn't make much of a daily driver.

a few of those cwc's hiding out here

this was a cool little number. the bars/seat are new, but it's an old design

even ran into a few familiar bikes (hey hotrod rob, good finally putting a face to the name)

pay extra special attention to this pic 8)

lots and lots of canadian made bicycles (muscle bikes in particular)

Re: 9th annual vintage bicycle show (brantford ontario.)

these all belong to one guy

these were some of my fav bikes.

ccm flyte's

could have purchased a frame and forks for $700 or a work in progress for $1500. :shock:
most of these were forsale at reasonable prices.

i know i always enjoy looking at all the show i miss in the u.s.

i believe that is the Western Flyer Buzz Bike 2+1"Wheelie"
i believe the chainguard reads "buzz bike it!"

speaking of crazy dragster style bikes........

is it me or is this bike just beggin kids to stuff roman candles under thier butt (perhaps those model rocket engines)
i can hear myself now. "but moooom, its meant to do that. its a rocket bike!"
