Subject: [CR]Re: CIBA swap and ride 16th Feb

I attended last year and came away with a few nice, OT things. This is not big show, but still a good place to hobnob and maybe buy or sell. Table space has been free in the past, and no prior registration was required. I'll verify this is still the case, and talk to the CIBA organizer to see if CR folks can have a display area, probably small. The location is in a large park area along the river, and the Indy Greenways paved trail runs to downtown, and a limestone canal path (ridable with 25c or larger tires) goes to BroadRipple, a restaurant/pub/arts district. This past Feb. the snow was top tube deep to a tall Frejus, and the Jeep was in 4WD low to get to the meet. No riding, but the meet was still well attended.

I know this is kinda early notice, but the 2004 Central Indiana Bicycle Association swap meet and ride is Sunday, 16th February 2004. We should plan a gathering of vintage lightweights enthusiasts in conjunction with this event.

The swap meet sometimes has on-topic older bits and bikes. It's usually well attended. In the past some of the regional dealers have been there buying and selling.

There's a ride beforehand - I've ridden the routes in the past and found I was late arriving for the swap, so I thought maybe a shorter local loop for the older iron (and knees) might be fun.

1) Early meeting for donuts, coffee, rust removal. 2) Brief vintage ride - frequent exchange of bicycles is highly recommended. 3) Display of bikes, either outside in the parking lot, or near the entrance. 4) CIBA Swap meet.

Maybe they'd even make space for a display inside the building.

Please forward this to other interested regional folks, and let me know what you think.
