Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show
 

A little bit show, a little but swap meet...
Many vintage CCMs, Schwinns and a few wooden rimmed bikes.

Sorry, I've challenges posting big images, linking from FB/Instagram, and they cut off a big part of the image. I've got lots of images on FB (public, James Linn)

Personally, I found it a better show than usual. There were more vendors and more "modern" stuff than shows before. Usually it's mostly CCM, 3 speeds and antique bikes. Picked up a nice Holdsworth frame, a set of Cyclone derailleurs, most of a 105 group, a Wright seat and a 600 Uniglide wheel.
I'll have to say it wasn't as well attended as some of the shows - not good for the vendors. Great day for it.

After wading through all the CCM's and schwinns I found a nice Claud Butler Track frame.

I unfortunately had a family commitment and was not near enough to go.

Saw that, and was jealous.

I almost bought the Holdsworth Frame that you purchased but the CB cleared out my Cash.

Another great CVBS for 2017. Perhaps a little less foot traffic due to the deferred date but the variety of bikes was good an the weather favourable. I would have loved to find a Triumph road bike or 3 speed but nary a one. I did pickup a gold Supercycle 3speed as a future project.

I grew up not far from there and some of my friends lived a few houses away, but it was my first time.

I wasn't really shopping, I have two projects already.

But I did like the built up Holdsworth with the triple. The Claude Butler was sweet. If I had known so many were going I would have suggested we all meet for coffee before.

I used to own a nice blue/white CB track but it was a little big at 55 seatpost. Pics?
