Looks like it was a cool gathering. I was layer up with a migrain from a healing tooth, fun I know.

What kind of bike does your son have? Its cool he enjoys the hobby with you. I just picked up a AMF convertible at the last bike swap and he's having a blast going for rides on the old bikess, my oldest even joins us sometimes. I gotta get the 24" girls Schwinn rolling for my wife and it can be a full family thing.

Hope the tooth is feeling better!

Not represented well in these pics. But my nine year old rides a 1950 24"CWC I built him for a Christmas Gift.

My 11 year old has been riding this 24" Schwinn Typhoon for a few years. We have a new 26" build for the summer :wink:
