Subject: [CR]State College Swap Report

Wake me up when it's over....zzzzz. It was generally a sleeper. Plenty of new, modern era items. Plenty of mountain bike items. I took down a pile of items and got rid of plenty of stuff and came home with plenty of stuff which was mostly modern but the classic items attracted little interest. The swap is really not even much interest to an iBOB member. I was joined over the day my assistant of comments, Larry O, whom I believe only shows up to shoot the bull with a certain attribute of the show each year. Larry O keeps things lively and interested. He had a small stash of classic items as I had a small loot also. He scored a few items of interest. Roy Drinkwater and friend, Glenn Flick, stopped by for a visit as well. I managed to scare up a few 80ish Campy front derailleurs in workable condition for the price of $1 each. I saw a few "old school" campy cranksets for a good price but they were all 172.5mm. A nicely lugged 60cm Marinoni frameset went for a whopping $20, great deal on a beater bike. The verdict overall and I believe Roy and Larry will agree. Unless a great deal more classics guys agree to all go next time and have a table. The content is extremely limited and almost does not justify my short drive down to State College! Highlight of the day came from an UGLY pair of tights I had to sell on consignment, PINK denim lycra tights. The sign read, you put them on and wear them out and they are yours...and that is exactly what one lovely little college student did for us. Interesting day!

Walter Skrzypek Falls Creek, Pa Items purchased at swap: The only classic content were 2 campy front derailleurs in good workable condition. $1 each NEW campy BB and NEW 8/9 speed campy record hubs for about $22 after some haggling. Mavic open Pro SUP wheels with campy record hub and new record cassette. $50.
