Responses and enquiries to the track/fixed sale and exhibition at Chuck's
VR7 have been great.
I will update the list of track irons still available Sunday , 16th.
Plan on coming out , hobnobbing, kicking tires, and in general having fun
hanging out with GOOD PEOPLE.
Doesn't get better that.

> Here is a message from Ted Ernst regarding his display of vintage bikes
> at this years Velo Rendezvous
>
> Hi all:
> All of the for sale bikes are assembled but not fully overhauled,
> cleaned, or tuned to ride.
> The wood rims are prewar and at least 67 years old and I would save them
> for show and get something newer and safer for riding. Old rims tend to
> get splits, warps, could delaminate, and care has to be taken on spoke
> tension.
> I know most of you enjoy doing your own restoration work to the degree
> you deem proper, so I leave that part to you.
> Prices reflect mostly my costs in collecting these examples and the parts
> needed to complete them.
> There are over 20 bikes in the display only about five have alloy rims,
> the rest are wood rims with original patina and weathering.
> Puchasers of these bikes assume the responsibility of determining the
> rideability and reliability of any of the bikes for sale.
>
> The components and frames range in time from the 1900's into the 1970's.
> Come out and take a look at cycling history through the decades.
> Let your minds wander as the nostalgic images of cycling's halcyon days
> carry you over the horizen down memory lane on inch pitch chains, wood
> rims, fixed gears, and steel frames.
>
> See you at Chuck Schmidt's Velo Rendezvous # 7, Sunday, September 23,
> 2007.
> Check out the fotos, maybe there's a bike you like, buy it (I may have
> some flexibility in pricing, we can chat), then pick it up at the show,
> or I'll ship it to you.
>
> Note: The # 14 green bike now has the bar from 9. #9 Shelby now has a
> more accurate bar for the 1935 vintage. #11 Apollo has no tires.
> The bike prices reflect these changes. Fotos were taken before captions
> and only these minor changes were done to be more appropriate for price
> and condition.
