Hello all, Last night, braving cold that makes lightweight SoCal boys like me shiver (and the locals are out in thin jackets!).... I made it to the fantastic Cycle Smithy in Chicago. A number of you all pointed me in Mark Mattei's direction - and I'm so glad I went.
And THANKS to you Mark - after I introduced myself as a member of the CR gang... you so graciously gave me such a warm welcome and proceeded to show me some of your FABULOUS collection. I've posted some of the photos I took below - list members, forgive me but I've included a few off topic shots.... but seeing all the fabulous genre's of two wheeled conveyances that Mark shows... what a great collection !
It was truly a worthy side trip for my visit to the windy city !
