Bike Swap Meet

On Sunday we went to the bike swap meet and it was a ton of fun. There were all kinds of bikes and people there. I didn't get many pictures because I was too busy touching every thing and flitting around like a loon. I was looking for a hub dynamo, but no one seemed to have brought one. I think I'll just get one from Duncan once I've saved up. Most vendors didn't take debit and I'm glad we didn't have cash with us or I would have bought stuff. Sylvia got a few compliments and that made my day though.
I'm looking for a camera purse that will fit in my basket so I can take my camera with me. My phone is okay, but after 150 odd miles of no falls I feel comfortable enough to carry my good one again. My current bag is to big and has to go in sideways.

A lot of people were there.

I had a ton of fun walking around with my husband. It was a great adventure to see all the bikes and bits for sale. I wanted one of everything. The best part though was how friendly the people were.

So many cool bike things for sale.

A lot of times when I go in a bike shop they speak over me to my husband. At the swap meet they saw me. It felt good.

Even the sun is up for the fun.

In some places it was slowed down to a crawl due to all the people. I hope the vendors sold a ton and I can't wait for the November one. I will remember to bring cash! It was a great day out though!

GABA Bike Swap Meet

Today Husband and I went to the GABA Bike Swap Meet and it was fun! There were a ton of people there so it was hard for me to take pics, but Husband got some nice ones and you can see more on his blog.

The whole place was crowded like this!

I don't usually like crowds, but the people here were very friendly. This Raleigh was in really good condition and of course way to big for me. Also too pricey. It's still beautiful though. It's my favorite bike I saw there.

I wonder what the silver thing is? I think it's the pump.

These are the coolest looking accessories I've seen yet. The flowers have an led light in the center to help you be seen. They're from http://www.pedalbrite.com/ . They are handmade in Scottsdale, Az and this is one on the creator's personal bike. It looks great and made me smile. So fun and cheerful! They are tempting and very reasonably priced. 

I love how friendly the flowers and the creator are!

This tiki head comes from an old miniature golf place that closed down. It now stand guard at a nightclub. It's a childhood memory re-purposed. It was good to see it again as we were leaving.

I love this tiki head!

I stayed strong in the face of much temptation today and came out the winner! I got a present for Lucy! I found Wald 962 fenders in shiny chrome for cheap. I've looked all over town for them, but no one carries them here, and I was leery of online ordering due to high shipping for over sized packages. 

A nice man from out of Phoenix had them and he threw in a silver bottle cage to seal the deal. Sadly, he didn't have a card so I can't shop with him again.

I almost talked myself out of getting them because they look huge in person and I was worried they wouldn't fit. Husband convinced me and I'm so happy I got them. They'll be more for dust protection than rain, but I don't have to worry about them getting sun rot like the plastic ones. 

Yay! We have fenders!

New Fenders!!!!!!
