The L'Eroica show was an oasis in the dessert.

Where else in the world can you see every make and vintage of Italian bike, not only on display, but under a rider on the road? http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925063980/

There were Automotos, Bianchis, Bottechias, Cinellis, Deis, Glorias, Masis, Stellas, Stuchis to name just a few. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925061272/

Every make and model of Italian parts were also on sale but few in show bike condition.

Jerseys were on display and for sale, mostly new and good looking. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925060044/ Brand new cycling shoes could be had for a song.

Lots of interesting characters hanging about. Some guys from CogMag were there on their fixed gears to do the 205Km ride. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925056278/

The Gym was fully booked for the show, so some vendors put up tents in the parking lot. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2924198473/

The parking lot was full, so some guys sold of the back of their trucks on the route leading into town.

A very enterprising vendor was selling De Rosas out of the back of his car. Some of you might know him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8210984@N06/2925048282/
