Even though it was a beautiful day for riding in the East, a very large crowd turned up at the annual Wastminster Swap. There was a very good turnout from the vintage community (well over a dozen CR regulars there), although some of the Philadelphia group left a bit early - something about a football game...

I saw a lot of nice vintage bits, and for once sold a lot more than I bought. It was just so crowded that making my way from the front to the restrooms in the rear was such a struggle that I didn't really look at that much stuff, and my goal was to sell rather than buy. There was a tremendous interest in fixed-gear stuff, and both Ken and I sold vintage Track stuff at ebay type prices. It was well worth the trip for me, as well as a good opportunity to talk to other CR people.
