I acutally had an ulterior motive, besides seeing bikes, people and getting in a ride somewhere new. I had this frame that I was hoping to talk gugie into adding to his queue. It was found at the local St Vinnie's yard more than a decade ago. No stampings anywhere and it looks like quite a bit of work went into the thinning of the lugs. Whatever it is, it looked worth storing in the garage rafters all this time.

@gugie told me a while back that he's hoping to host a Ride, Wrench, and Grill later this year. Maybe you can make it down for that?

What a coincidence, I have a frame that needs a little attention. Alignment, bottle bosses.... Stuff you can do after a drink or two.

I made it in time for the ride, and a couple of hours looking at some really amazing bikes. I've never seen so many Herse, Hetchins, and Singers in one place. There were many marks that I've never heard of.
I feel pretty fortunate to have been there today. I didn't get to meet everyone, but chatted with some Cino Alumni and a few other enthusiasts. Thanks to Bob and his wife for hosting this, and to all that brought out their fantastic bicycles.

Damn. Just damn. Couldn't attend do to a family commitment. I can only hope that Bob keeps doing this.
I've been to French Fender Day twice, the collection of bikes at Bob's is higher both in quantity and quality.
West Coast wins today.

Yeah… That pretty much sums up both the quality of the bikes on display and my feelings about having to miss the event due to family commitments. I last saw Bob’s collection about 38 years ago when I worked at a then new Elliott Bay. It was breathtaking then, and I can only imagine what it’s grown to now, not to mention the quality of the other machines that turned up. Oh well - hopefully next year will work out. Bob is a treasure.
