Chicago Area Bike Swap Tomorrow 2/23!
I assume most regulars here who are in the Chicago areas or nearby are aware of this pretty large event, returning after last year's DNS:
https://www.chicagowinterbikeswap.com/
I will be there and expect to see smontanaro, iab, r0ckh0und and others there.
I don't have a table (or anything to sell) but would be happy to meet any other C&Vers,

Sorry to miss you and Billy K. I don't know everyone's handle here, but did meet a few familiar fella's. Dan, Steve W, John H. and others. Good crowd.
Steve steered me to a full carbon Scott CR1 with Sram 10 speed, sans wheels and saddle. I didn't go with intention to acquire another bike but probably should have taken that one for only $250. Steve tells me seller would even go lower. We were flap jawing and the bike was sold. Thank goodness. Lol
$800. Full Campy Super Record. Tubulars. Original but needs TLC

My small satchel of take.
Magistroni skip tooth ring, very vinti 3 speed and single freewheel, Omas and TA cage, pumps, straps, GB stem, misc. Campy QR levers - all $17.
Pair of Veloflex skinny 700c (140 gm) $10 pair.
Rando SR bar $5 and Blackburn front panniers support $8
Seller pleaded with me to take two old truing stands for $20, but only took this Minoura for half. I don't think they're sought after but for that coin, hope someone else grabbed the other. May gift it to a friend who's just been bitten by the bikey bug.

The Allez was a nice bike. There was a guy with several NOS Campy hubsets, one of those was high flange with straight skewers. Also a Miyata Ridge Runner frameset for $440. Saw Chicago Al and a few others. I bought an old school Answer suspension fork from the bike corral with a complete bike attached to it. Next weekend is the Milwaukee Swap.

The curved versions of the early Record QR levers aren't common at all - nice score! You should post a close-up of those.
Nice pair of NOS tires, too. I will be keeping an eye out for tire deals at our annual Swap next month

I totally forgot about this. I came in very late, but still walked out with a nice disc brake wheelset for $40.

I picked up a pair of Continental Sprinter Gatorkins and a Sram 10 speed 11 to 32 cassette. Two things I was looking for out of three. I did see a lot of nice things that were out of reach for my price range. It was fun. I had to bring my one year old grandson with me. He was pretty cool. Just chilled in the stroller and had a good time. What a great kid. He found some handle bars he wanted but I had to say no. He grabbed them right off a table.
