[rogerrabbit]

I am booking it in and plan to have a few bikes to enter

[QuangVuong]

I should have some time next year for this. Will bring my vintage carbons out, and maybe something else too.

[utedeej]

I think I feel a trip with a few bikes coming on.

Has anyone got any pics of the last one, what sorts of bikes do people bring, and how is it set up?

I will be there again. It was quite good last year but perhaps with a bit more promotion can be built into a bigger and better event this year.

Thanks Marc

I'm keen to go and will keep a look out. I've never "shown" any of my bikes before and would probably like to, so i'm trying to get an idea of what i would need to bring. I'm guessing stands to hold them up, etc...

Might be good if those that have done this before, could give out some tips of what to take, etc for the newbs like myself.

Yes, it'd be great if you brought your own stand. If you watch the video there was one guy who had this super elaborate chromed stand which was only rivalled by his magnificent bike. However if you dont have one, we were supplying stands with a returnable $20 deposit. Not sure if we are doing these loan stands again in 2014. Also bring cable ties to secure anything of value down - it wasnt a problem at the last one but good to take precautions. Get hold of a large brimmed hat and bring lots of sun screen. Also bring lots of cash - lots of bargain at the various swap stalls. We had about 13 vintage bike/parts sellers at the last event. We expect many more in 2014.

Planning to come along and show some early roadsters: Lewis,Hartley,Swansea,Skidstar,etc Do you have a promo poster done up yet? If available i can then spread it around lbs and such here in Canberra and local areas.
Trevor

[Saro28]

Hey Trevor. Good to see ya post here. Looking forward to seeing your display. No doubt there'll be classics. Any pedal moto's?

Andy

[bigfriendlyvegan]

Hey Marc, it would be wonderful to see some vintage steel bike only racing at one of these bike shows. How about it?

[stackyard59]

Ta Andy,been out of Retro for ages doin downhill.Time for a change again. Pedal moto? Sold the two star Malvern Star/ Bsa Winged Wheel a while ago,but have another, a "Two Swan" Swansea drop top bar with a cyclemaster fitted,hasn't run for ages,so a bit of cleanup needed i think. Would be great to see old more old school steel roadsters and alike at the upcoming show. As mentioned earlier in the thread,promotion always the key to get people motivated enough to get those old bikes out !

[marc2131]

We plan to have a vintage track bike race in the velodrome on the day. Not confirmed yet. Several other races too.

I hope I can come this year!

[Clydesdale Scot]

Marc
when my the details for the Sunday ride be available?
I have permission to bring ONE bike with us and the ride will determine which bike it is.
thanks
Philip
Adelaide.

[marc2131]

Philip
I assume you are referring to the Sunday retro ride. This is held the day AFTER the actual bicycle show.
We plan to ride from the Canterbury Velodrome in Tempe, along the Cooks River cycle way and head off toward the Sydney Olympic Park. A very leisurely 50km round trip along the very sedate cycle path. Not sure what time we start off, but my guess would be around 9 or 10am on Sunday. Details to come later.
