Given that I drove an hour & a half in a driving snow . . but the roads were still warm so the roads stay safe.
I skipped last year, both over weather and the pandemic. Had to go just to check in with a handful of old friends.

I did get a couple small things: A Phil Wood front hub, NOS, for $30. Two Cinelli stems, one NOS @ 90mm, the other light used @ 110mm, for combined $50.
Some tubes and lubes. A funny thing called a "Cable Luber - A Power Injection Tool". It was free.

And, totally cool, a true unobtanium bit, a Zeus pedal wrench. Unmarked, but with a bunch of other Zeus tools. And it does fit. (I have two bikes w/ Zeus pedals.)

A photo of it, just for entertainment purposes.



Zeus, and it fits. It also weighs about 3x time any other pedal wrench known.

Slightly not-round, and cerated edges only up top. Works flawlessly on Zeus pedals.

Anyway, the Westminster Swap is a fine and well-run event. Definitely worth the effort to get there!

And cheers to the friends I did see, and apologies to those missed.
