I thought the Fall edition was mild but worth the look. I just happened to be close by (in RSF) for the weekend and slipped away early Sunday morning for the look. I got in a bit ahead of the crowd (thanks Brian) and found many odds and ends but held to my vow of 'no more bikes'. I found myself behind Richard Chamberlen for a bit and we were reaching for much of the same stuff...we flipped a coin on the tie grabs...Richard is a real stand-up guy. There were piles of MTB stuff but our vintage/relic/junque goodies were still to be found. Sterling Peters found a really nice Motobecane w/ a Campy triple and brakes for...., well I'll let him tell :^) I managed an NOS Clement Crit Seta for $8 along with 9 or 10 other misc. used road and track silks and Vittoria CX / CG's at a buck a pop. ( I pumped up a pile of tyres and kept the 'still inflated ones' after 30-45 min.) I also scored 3 beautiful Campy Track rings for $5, a Soubitez light set for $3, an old Disc wheel, SuperChamp rims and a basic track wheelset for very modest prices. I saw many of the regular vintage suspects roaming about but I was pinched for time and didn't stop to chat long. Joe Bell brought out a truck bed of stuff and a I managed to get some pedals, chainrings, hats and a Jersey at the right-on price (thanks JB!) Overall it was decent day and diligent digging yielded many useful/classic items.
