Citizen Chain Cyclery

SF Bike Expo, 2009

SF Bike Expo 2009

Were you there? Sasha was! Sorry if you missed out - the swap was great, and so were the races! I started the day a little prematurely, thinking the event started at 9, when doors actually opened at 10. No problem tho. A little extra time for breakfast put me in a great mood to ride out to Cow Palace for the event. The swap was awesome - much bigger than I expected and there were deals to be had! I snagged a seat for the bike I am building, as well as a cinelli ti stem and some old frog leg brakes for the Ibis Mojo I am building in DC. Needles to say, I am excited. The cyclocross races were also great and it was pretty awesome to be able to watch a cross race and see downhill riders doing flips and spins in the background.  My buddies Jackie and Thayne both raced and got muddy with the Mens Bs, but I had to leave the palace to get back to the shop. Anyway, next year I will be there again, hopefully with a little more cash in hand. If you have a moment, check out some of the photos I took there. In retrospect I should have snapped a few more, especially of the swap meet, but I was too busy digging through parts bins. Sorry.
