Some photos from the day. I think I managed to take at least one shot of every bike entered. If you have any details of people or bikes in the photos, please let me know the photo and the details.

Schwinn Madison 2008. Baby blue with chrome highlights. This thing claims to have a track geometry. All I know that it's sweet to ride, the chromo is heavy but fun. Bought for $300 off a guy in St Ives, he had a long MTB bar on her. That lasted one ride before I swapped it out for the original bull-...

Re: CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS! Sydney Classic Bicycle Show, Sat 23
Looking at the agenda for the day, volunteers would be required started at 11am? Does the committee need any other help setting up before this? Such as with tents, signage etc.
Basically offering help and asking what time you what me at Tempe.

To support Christian, if enough fast or strong Middies move up to Fasties, the average speed of the Fasties drops and the easier it is to hold on. Same for Middies and C28s.
