Here’s the thread about it: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...l#post22589617

The show has a Facebook and Instagram account as well.

This will be the first vintage bike show I’ve attended, having just started collecting bikes the year before COVID. I’m really really stoked to attend and meet a number of builders I’ve only read about. FWIW I’m a volunteer organizer for the event.

If you're driving up that way from Indy or points south, don't forget to stop in Anderson at the Uranus Fudge Factory on the way. If nothing else, get one of their newspapers for all the puns (the chocolates are pretty good too).

It was fabulous and I deeply regret not participating. My humble collection can't stand up a Bayliss or Confente but as there were no Cornelos, Batavus or Bertonis in view perhaps I should have entered them​​​​​​​





I tried to lodge a complaint on this “frankenbike”. LOL

Glad to hear that some y'all went. Many bike brands there I'd never even heard of before and sounds more like a trip to the local Italian Piazza market here.<br /><br />We don't have anything going on here like that locally. I'd like to change that though in some small way. More like a local swap meet setup kind of thing; a parking lot "Boot Sale", but with room for those who'd like to showcase their antique bikes.

A while back I'd noticed this swap meet group too, also in Indiana >>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/1103234673029697

Look at the recent Brownsburg entry, tonne o' bikes for sale and starting tomorrow:
