Listers,
I will be at the Trexlertown Swap meet this October 11th wit h an extraordinary collection of bikes and parts for sale. Here\u2019s a heads up as to what I have to offer, and this is by no means a comprehensive l ist.
A beautiful Pogliaghi, 55cm, serial number is 11022 and is li sted on the CR Pog timeline. It was repainted by JP Weigle and sports VIP
wrapped bars and newer Athena components. Beautiful bike. Available for $2000
A 54.5cm Hami \u2013 short for Hans Mittendorf \u2013 made with Vitus
Superlight tubing, Nuovo Record and Ideale saddle. Available for $850
A 1971 Paramount Track bike with original orange paint. Stunning e xample of the breed, 51cm c to top and 53cm top tube. Record Track, Fiame front rim and Schwinn approved rear. Serial number is L7301. Available f or $3500
A Hans Lutz Aero bike, 56cm center to top, 57cm top tube.
Beautifully made aero frame with hidden cabling, Dura Ace AX kit and a Kash imax saddle. Examples of purpose built industrial beauty abound on this m odestly painted bike. Available for $800
A Montelatici in a 53cm. W hat\u2019s there to say about this that hasn\u2019t been said on this list alre ady? This one is painted by Ed Litton and built up with Nuovo Record comp lete with High Flange hubs. I don\u2019t think you would ever find a more qu intessentially Italian bike with a paint job this good. Available for $25 00
A classic Cinelli SC with oiler port, 54cm center to top. This o ne was repainted in England in a classic orange. The bike sports Nuovo Rec ord, Universal brakes with brass bolts and bar end shifters. Available fo r $3000
A Miyata Team frame and fork without decals, 54cm center to
center. Serial number is J830644. In good rider shape. Available for $27 5
Australian Speedwell Path Racer, pinstriped in the classic fashio n, perhaps by a real grizzled alcoholic in the ultimate period correct to uch. Beautiful paintjob, but the frame leans towards the gas pipe variety.
Parts are a mish mash of period and not period correct. Still, a wonderf ul \u2018country gentleman\u2019s bike\u2019 if such a thing exists. Available for $600
A CDI in 53.5 cm center to center. CDI was a Texas based distri butor that sold re-branded European bikes. This is the quintessential one , a rebadged Liotto that is the epitome of Italian panache with serious r acer intentions. Beautiful workmanship on this little oddity, original pa int and Nuovo Record groupo with a Unicanitor saddle. Truly a classic rac e bike from the seventies. Available for $900
A 52cm Gitane Intercl ub frame, nickel plated with honeycombed dropouts and Huret fork ends. Th e serial number is 4254344 and there is a \u201873\u2019 engraved on the non dr ive side of the head tube and \u201860\u2019 on the bottom. Really pretty and l ooks like it\u2019s never been built up. No decals. Available for $400.

Obviously, bikes marked \u2018 SOLD\u2019 on the page are not available for purchase.
I will be at T -town from opening at space 123 and 124 along the rider\u2019s off ramp on t he lawn, to your left as you come in. I will entertain offers prior to th e show if you\u2019re interested in the bikes, but rest assured there is far less price flexibility now as there will be then.
This is just a
taste! I will have plenty of on topic and off topic parts including rims , derailleurs, seats etc. I may have other bikes too!
If you\u2019re at T town feel free to stop by and bring a beer if you do!
