Whoa, I just looked at that first link; that much bike porn should just not be allowed on one page!

Oh, no, my cats will ensure I get up in time - they insist on eating by 6:30am. I just won't be able to go back to bed for my "beauty" sleep.Quote:

The Idaho Spud Bar has been a favorite since it was first manufactured in 1918.www.idahospud.com
Alas, marshmallow and coconut count among the very few food-like items that I don't particularly like (although the dark chocolate could make up for that).
Tell you what, you can give mine to the Birthday Girl.
I'm not a big marshmallow fan either. That's why Bubba gets all the Peeps.
Some scofflaw photographers have posted their pics from the show. This thread from bikeforums has some good links (you need to scroll through the postings) and some of the links have good links too.
Anyone seen any other photos posted from the show, or by chance, want to post theirs anonymously (we don't want the bike show police coming after you) :p ?
Okay, those Idaho Spud things look incredibly yummy. I may have to ask for a box for my birthday. :)
Snapdragen and I wandered about in a pretty bike-induced haze, and then we noticed that there were dozens of people taking pictures so we surreptitiously pulled out our own little digicams and started snapping away. We felt so naughty ! :D
Snap muttered "just you wait, I'll be the only one here to get nailed for taking photos".
As it turned out, neither of us were chastised by the photo police, but my picutures came out terrrible. :p
Hopefully snap had better luck?
It was a great show, so many pretty bikes, some with unusual designs, and some soul-satisfying classics.
Let's see if this works:
Bike Show
Some shots are blurry - new camera!:rolleyes:
Nice job, Snap! Thanks for sharing! There are some very interesting pictures! (Some pretty weird bikes there!)
Was there some rule about not taking pictures? There were lots of people in Snap's pictures with cameras!Quote:

Apparently on Saturday they decided to relax the rules. Kind of annoying. But it meant we didn't have to spend hours wading through the shots and putting them up on the web.

Yes and no.Quote:

Now, mind you, there was absolutely nothing on the website that said anything about a no photo policy. People on the various email lists (iBob, Rivendell, Framemakers, to name a few) were calling this BS and announced their intentions to bring their cameras on Saturday & Sunday. ( Just my 2 cents, it's one thing if the "no photo" policy was spelled out on the website and on other promotional materials, but it wasn't - people found out about it after they paid their admission and entered the exhibit space. Pretty slimey, IMO).
I brought my little digital camera fully expecting not to be able to use it, but it weighs very little so it would have been no big deal either way for me - except for the principle, of course.
Either there were some confrontations at the show on Saturday, or the organizer wisely backed down, because by mid-morning on Saturday there were cameras a-plenty.
It's too bad that Thom didn't bring his camera, he would have taken some great photos. But since as of Friday evening it seemed like he wouldn't have been able to take photos at all, it's understandable that he didn't bring his gear along.
Just cruising around on eBay, snooping around. Last time I did that I ended up with pink disk rims.
Chris Kelly has a singlespeed cruiser, his Hoop T, on there. Bubba was already to buy but it's too small. Darn but good. We have bike storage problems as it is.
SK, Step Away from the eBay ...
:D
