 Original 3Rensho warmup sweater/jersey. It is a long sleeve, heavy material. There is not a size listed but about 19" from armpit to armpit laying flat, and about 27" long. Some light stains and it is obviously used. Original Japanese model, I am not sure if these were imported in the USA, previous owner stated it was purchased in Japan and was some Keirin racers, but the name escapes me, but that probably doesn't matter anyway here in the states. I can provide more pictures.

Report from the NY Bicycle Jumble

So the second New York Bike Jumble went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect, like the one in the spring. It was well organized and well attended and their were once again awesome bicycles to see and buy.

Below are a couple pictures showing some of the cool bicycles.

A nice Nagasawa Keirin bicycle

A Johnny Coast

An unknown track frame for sale(still, contact me, I know the seller)

Sam is holding a Dursley-Pedersen that has been repaired by Bilenky Cycle Works.

another bicycle swapmeet

I am not good at taking photographs at bicycle swap meets as I am too busy shopping and talking it up to many of the sellers and fellow bicycle collectors. It is a fault of mine that I like to buy super awesome stuff and then offer it to waiting recipients at home. Sometime fellow collectors joke how I buy all the cool stuff and leave nothing for them but I do not haggle or complain about price, I either accept it or walk away. If the seller wants to deal, I then deal, but I am not out to rob people, I want both parties to feel like we got a deal, and everyone is happy.

Some swap meets are better than other for us. We turned up a few odds and ends- a Lytaloy cottered aluminum crankset, set of early Campagnolo Nuovo Record brake calipers, and early 1980s Jack Taylor road bike, but over all, nothing that I was super stoked about. I mean to say, all the parts were super awesome finds and will find great homes(some already have) but I guess I always hope for more, superer-coolerer stuff. But in the end, it was an great day chatting it up with fellow collecters, fellow Classic Rendezvous-ers, and looking at interesting bits and bobs.

The photos are some of the cool items for sale, some awesome deals, and some rare parts for sure. Some items seen in the pictures are -
Harden "Bacon Slicer" hubs
Airlite track hubs
Campagnolo track hubs
box full of various track cogs
Cinelli steel track bars & stem
an array of Pantographed Cinelli stems,-Colnago, Merckx, Motta, De Rosa, etc.
3Rensho
Cinelli with full Super Record
and that is all i got to photograph!!

Use your imagination on what you didn't see!
