This is only 8 weeks away, who’s going?
Their Facebook page has been active with the promise of some quality machines, but I should be able to lower the bar somewhat.

You heard anything about the Beeac one coming back?
Will your Kypo get an outing? I like the one they’ve posted pics of

Nah I haven't. Sounds like it all got too hard with COVID restrictions.
I wanted to take the Kypo up, but my family will be coming with me and I reckon their bikes will be coming as well, which means no room for the Pinarello and Kypo. I'll certainly be keen to talk to the owner of that one - full c-rec, *drool*
Worth noting they're including a 30k or 50k ride on the Sunday, so it's not just all standing around looking pretty.

I will be there - it's one week after the Ballarat Swap Meet, (I'll see you there BarkMadly ) but I have a few road trips in me after the Covid mess. Might take the Kenevans - it's presentable but not rideable

Cranks are polished and decals applied - came up good. Now I can detail the frame and polish the shiny bits. Still toying with polishing up a panto'd seat post I got a while back or just sticking with the one I've got. I'll probably leave it to last and see if I've got time to do it.

Make that a no now, another ride Saturday morning means I'm out Saturday and Sunday was already busy!

Decided to go with the panto'd seat post because of course I did, so that's done along with the stem and handlebar sleeve. Now I can get stuck into detailing the frame and touching up a few stone chips...and when I say 'stuck into', I mean trying to find snippets of time between work and family duties.

Actually managed to snag a set of barely used Monoplaner brakes, so hopefully they will land before the show.
Coughed up for a new chain as I was surprised to find the Wippermann 900 9 speed chain I was running had a few rust spots. I've had a few 808 8 speed chains and they've never shown a dot of rust, noting that the 900 and 808 retail for about the same price. The 908 is three times as much.
Frame has been detailed and is looking pretty shiny. I used an Armor-all product that just sprays on and wipes off - heaps easier than trying to cut and polish around components and braze-ons. Got a few stone chips to touch up if I get some time.

Thinking I should take it for a quick spin just to make sure I haven’t forgotten to tighten something up before Sunday’s ride.
Bit of rain about later today and tomorrow - what’s the bet it will rain on the way to Maldon.
I’ll be sporting my ‘Classically Trained’ t-shirt, so come and say hi if you see me. Should be a great weekend, can’t wait.

Did you happen to come across a Bugatti(?) that looked like it had a truss style frame system? Saw a pic on FB, looked very cool if perhaps impractical.

One of the best things I've see was Charlie Farren on an electric Moulton leading the peloton into the wind!
Great to meet Johnj and see Imwit again. Looking forward to next year.

I wish I had taken a photo of the polished Pinny shining in the sun today. It was spectacular.
Met John Rolfe and his wife and found out that Peter Campbell bought some of Herb Rolfe’s bike building gear and is still using it today.
Peter built the Faema era Eddy Merckx replica shown above as well as plenty of others on show yesterday.
There was some really nice Paconis around too
