2023 PRE bike swap party. Chicago!
Hey guys, Like last year I am going to have a vintage bike party and show at my Garage. We had such a great time last year. This year it will be held on Saturday February 11th. I will probably limit it to 35 people. Last year we had about 16 show up and it was awesome.
Who: Bike forum Members and some other local enthusiasts.
What: Bike show and party at day before the Chicagoland bike swap at Kane County Fairgrounds. Food and bevies will be provided.
What else: Optional and preferred. Bring a bike to show. There will be room in the garage. Must supply your own method of display. Either kickstand or bike stand so its freestanding.
When: Feb 11th. times to be announced later
Where: At "John's Vintage Road Bike Garage" Naperville IL
Why: To get to know more Vintage bike geeks such as myself, see some excellent bikes, have a few drinks and enjoy each other's company.
How: Send me a private message with your real name, E-mail and phone number so I can keep in touch.
Also message me with questions.
Here is a video of last year's party. First 40 gets in! Hope to see you guys there!

Very kind of you. I'd be there if I was in the area. Alas, maybe it will be the inspiration to do something in the Denver area.

I'm 1 for 2.
Send me a PM with your email and I can send a pdf template. You need 2 of each part and 2 wood screws. In the template, the top piece is 18" x 1.5" x 0.375" stock aluminum bar stock with a through hole (countersunk for the wood screw). The middle piece is scrap wood, width is dependent on tire width. Bottom piece is 0.5" plywood. Glue the 2 middle pieces to the inside of the 2 pieces of plywood. Slide in aluminum, screw into 2 middle pieces.

But those aluminum bits can be bought in that exact size from McMaster. The "fancy" rounded corner can be square.

I went last year and am planning on going again this year. John is a great host and has a great bike collection (rumor has it he's added a few more neat ones in the past year) in a neat space, and folks bring some interesting bikes to ogle. What could be better than chatting with fellow c&v geeks in the presence of lots of great bikes? Well worth the trip if you're not local (I'm a few hours away) -- and you could always combine it with the Chicago Bike Swap the next day. Here's part of John's collection as a teaser:
