I'll be there, space 16. Bikes, frames, components. 56/57 ish. Thinning the herd. If you have not been to the museum it is worth the trip alone.

If you are looking for more than a visit to the museum and a swap, it's a nice place to start a ride out to Nicasio and Pt Reyes Station.

I'll be sharing space 20. I've had a few request from other sellers that tried to sign up late. At least the words out so should be a good turnout. Good luck.

Sorry I missed you there @curbtender
It was a pleasure to finally meet @verktyg We struck a deal on a nice Motobecane Grand Jubilee, BB cups, HS, and fittings, Cinelli bars, plus some pedals. Thanks again!
Also nice to see @djkashuba again.
In the end I came away with a nice little bundle of goodies, including a new shirt, hat, jacket, bottle cages, and tubulars, plus the other items mentioned above.
Lots of neat eye candy. Some of the nice frames I noticed got snatched up quickly. Here are some more shots of the impeccable Confente.

Nice documentation @gaucho777. Also got to talk bike with obrentharris and verktyg . It was also great to see lots of youngsters soaking up the vintage steel. So much of what is laid out on this site and C.V. is getting to the next generation. The kids are all right.

I had a good time at the swap, there were so many fun bikes to see. We just had a short stop on the way to Point Reyes with the dog.
Thanks for this thread too; I’m glad I saw this.

That was a fun swap, met Chas and curbtender, bought parts, drank beer.
Then finally topped it off with a trip up the dirt trails of Mt Tam on my Pro-Tour.
Luckily had a place to crash in the bay area since I was too tired to drive back to the foothills with so little sleep behind me.
Bought four great 25mm tubular tires, two short-cage mtb derailers, a pair of Centaur 10 Ergolevers and a minty M730 crankset, plus a few small parts like a 26.4mm Milremo seatpost.
The museum is awesome, not that the swap itself wasn't like going to a museum!
Found myself in the background of the Confente crowd photo, black tee-shirt, ball cap, facing the camera.

I completely missed that Confente! Even harder to believe since I ended up making my only purchase from the guy who's framed in both pix by the front wheel (in the booth next to this bike). ! I was shopping for somebody else so was very focused on only the thing needed and not sidetracked by "stuff I like". But got a great deal on the frameset "somebody else" needed, from that guy ("Tom O'Connor", I think). It was a beautiful day in Fairfax!

Oh yeah, "that one", again! ^^^ I got a nice deal on some wheels last time around, and I like the renaming of sleepy little old "City of Good Living" to "Can Carlos", makes it sound closer to some Yucatan resort.
I'm sure the next block of condos they build will have that name, the real estate dweebs love that stuff!
