Where was the bamboo bike, Regina? I missed that. But then, it was so crowded at the meet, I probably missed a lot of stuff. The highlight for me was seeing the frames by Stephen Bilenky. I showed what a true nerd I am by gushing to him that I'd read about him in Bicycling magazine, and then proceeding to run my fingers longingly over just about every one of his frames. The guy does some of the cleanest welding I've ever seen and adds some really nice detailing. He probably thought I was nuts.

I picked up a summer-weight jersey on the cheap, then managed to talk myself out of a bike-chain bracelet. And I did a lot of drooling over the paint jobs on the IOCC bikes I saw. It was fun, though I think you'd really have to be looking for specific items and have the patience to search for them to get the most out of it.
