Butler Vintage Bike Swap Meet

Last Sunday I attended the somethingth annual Vintage Bike Swap in Butler PA.  Put on by a local bike shop, it's a friendly swap with a bunch of nice old bikes.  They're mostly from the 50s to the 70s but there is some really old stuff and a couple of guys selling newer cyclegear.

Here are a few pics I snapped.  The first is my favorite.

I think the sidecar is bigger than the bike.


Fake motor and tons of chrome.  Too much suspension for a Harley.


  I like that rack


  Shaft drive.  Chains weren't always reliable.  And the wooden rims are a nice touch.


 Could you see this folding bar on a Brompton?


The Y-tube junction forward of the seat tube is just a nice touch.


They also had this recumbent.


Just spending time with other cycling-focused friends in the middle of a snowy winter was good.  I need to do it more often.
