DUDLEY BIKE SWAP IN IN CT MAY 25th

[Major Taylor Archive]

What’s that cool old building?

It's a giant empty mill building, not sure what it was used for. There are several in the area. Kinda sad.

William Grosvenor's textile mill from the look of it in the one photo.

Pretty decent day at the Dudley swap today. Swap meets in general these days seem to be slower than in the past, just not a lot of buyers. It was good to see some familiar faces anyway.

I took exactly one picture today of a really cool bike that I probably should have bought. This sweet opaque green Schwinn Sports Tourer (note the TA crank). It was in incredible condition. Apparently the previous owner rode it twice and stored it away in his attic. I asked the gent who was selling it for his information in case I changed my mind later but realized when I got home that he only wrote his name and the model name on the paper but forgot to include his phone number . Oh well, maybe it will turn up at the next one.

Funny, I just saw this. I had an idle thought, "Did I put my phone number on that slip of paper?" It's 860 228-2326.
I'm Hal. Have a tentative plan to attend Wethersfield swap.
