Ohio and surrounding area show ideas?

[Kiloz]

Hello RatRodBicycle family,
Im Kiloz, lowrider bicycle builder from Cleveland, Ohio. We don't have many shows in the area anymore, the scene is kind of dead mine myself and a hand full of others. I was curious if there are any members in this area who would be interested in attending a show? I would love a biannual show, I was thinking of contacting the Cleveland Autorama offices and trying to have a show inside of a show basically have a nice bicycle showing of at least 20 bicycles worth showing, the last few years we'd get 5-6 on average but i've been networking with other to try and make this the best year yet (Autorama 2015). If all goes well with that the other show would be around July and that would most likely be a cruise-in unless I decide to do trophies. Ive already talk to a few bicycle owners from Detroit , Kentucky, and upstate New York, I think we could build something awesome if I get enough support.

Heya dude. I'd be interested, but doing a whole weekend kind of show at the autorama would probably be unfeasible for me at this point, but I would definitely like to get a swapmeet and/or meet and ride together.

Theres a pretty solid BMX collector scene around here, but as far as vintage/cruiser/ types, not much I am aware of. A good spot to get some interest would be the Simpler Times shop on 25th. That guy has tons of bikes, as well as collectors in and out of there all the time.

Yea there are tons of bicycle shops in the area but I am curious if people would actually be interested in showcasing. Not just lowrider but rat rods, vintage BMX bicycles, basically anything worth showing. I plan on drafting a letter to them this weekend just wanted to see what kind of feedback I get first. Also the show is all weekend but we could get a strong showing that could look out for everyones bicycle incase they cant make it a day for what ever reason. Its usually $50 but that includes the parking pass for 3 days and 3 days (2 people) entry.

Sweet any photos of your bicycle? I might include it when drafting the letter. There are also a few others coming from KY.

Some cool bikes...those low-riders!...we definitely need more shows and swaps to attend....possibly combining several genres' of bicycles and even vintage motor-scooters and cycles....anything two and three wheeled...might add attendance??? just saying! The KOKOMOTO I just attended a few days ago was a fun time with the American Vintage Motorcycle Club and the Hoosier Antique & Vintage Bicycle Club. Decent turn-out and a smoothly ran function.
