There were lots of interesting bicycles and parts there. This swap meet caters more to the vintage bicycle, compared to the swap meet at the velodrome that is new lightweight stuff. There were piles of Schwinn Stingrays, and balloon tire bikes, and even quite a fair share of turn of the century bicycles with wooden wheels.
I personally like the chrome Schwinn Paramount, a 1941 model, that was retrofitted by Schwinn in 1971. There was an Alvin Drysdale Ace there for sale, some other vintage track rides, an early 1950s Claud Butler Jubilee, and various bits and bobs. I will add more pictures this week, identifying some of these bikes and much more.
The weather was perfect and the turnout was high.
