I am in no way associated with this...but, after 3yrs of scheduling conflicts, I will be making it to this one. It seems to be only advertised on facebook, so I thought I'd throw it on here as well (can't find a flyer for this years' event).

It wasn't a big show...but, its pretty much the only show I know of (well, aside from a couple bmx shows...which are also small). Here are some pics...most the bikes were crammed together pretty tight, made it hard to snap decent pics, especially in the bmx area that suffered horrible lighting as well.

Cool tadpole...I don't believe it sold, but both my wife and daughter expressed interest (to haul their dogs around with ).

There was some sort of tweed ride associated with the show...but, I'm not into it so didn't know anything about it.

My three entries. I was going to bring my 'barn find' '52 Schwinn, but my four bike rack won't fit four cruisers without beating the crap out of each other. Was also going to put in my lil' bobber...but, my daughter damaged her sube trying to load in the back (I loaned it to her months ago). So, just the three.

Beautiful restoration on this one...I was going to vote for it for peoples choice, but decided to vote for the ratty-rusty schwinn cycle truck (which I didn't get a pic of, and it won for people's choice). It was really nothing extraordinary...its just that they are almost never seen around here, so it got a lot of attention.

Very nicely done...I think I've just seen so many versions of this theme (online) that I've become numb to them .

Almost all these BMX'r pics are horrid. Camera would focus on anything due to the odd/crap lighting (or the odd/crap photographer).

One of my faves in the BMX corral...and this is what I got for a pic...

Super nice DG.

Little 20"r that I took a pic of from the swap meet area to send to a friend that is looking for one...by the time I got a response, it was gone .

That be all...sorry for the poor pics. I'll definitely go back next year...as the only way its going to get bigger is if it gets support.
