SWAP MEETS:   Atlanta Show swap meet? posted by: JR on 9/8/2003 at 12:45:07 PM
Has anyone heard of any bike shows or swap meets in the Atlanta, Georgia area. We used to have one a year but the bike dealer hosting it went out of business.

We had the Atlanta (Marietta) show this April. The sponsoring club didnt advertise much. There was no show last year as the Armory was closed due to 9-11 measures. There will be a show in Statesville Sept 21.

Didn't Larz A. show get a new date? I know there was one this past week or so ago in CT. but I thought there was still going to be Larz???? Info. plse..... Thnx.sambo

Larz did not like the riff raff of the swap so they have concourse only

   RE:RE:FOR SALE:   Swap Meet posted by JC on 9/17/2003 at 7:33:20 PM
And the swap, which was NOT held at the Larz Anderson Museum of Transporation, was great. All riff raff, loads of parts and bikes and stuff at good prices, no gate charge (Larz was $5 last year!). I got a Supercourse for $25 and a Raleigh Chopper for $200.

The band was good, but the food was about as expensive as it was at the Larz show last year. Did anyone go to the Larz show this year (in April I think?)






MISC:   Help i.d. my bike! Firestone... posted by: Stevie on 8/27/2003 at 3:31:57 AM
I was given a bike by a good friend. I have had many comments on it. I just want to know any information on it that I can. It is red with black and whte stripes. It has Firestone as the head-badge. It is a man's bike. It is labeled as Dix Vitesse Vagabond. I probably sound dumb, but I can't find anything on this. It is still able to be ridden too. Can somebody help me please?

MISC:   Trying to find the 'tilde' posted by: Stacey on 8/23/2003 at 10:56:52 AM
Sorry for taking up room on this board in such a way. But we've all tried to post a URL that includes a 'tilde'... that horizontal wavy line, but we always get a 'comma'. Just tring to find what key/combo gives a tilde.

! = exclamation point, @ = AT sign, # = pound sign, $ = dollar, % = percentage, ^ = caret, & = and, * = asterick,
( = left bracket, ) = right bracket, _ = underscore, + = plus, { = left wavy bracket, } = right wavy bracket, : = colon, " = dbl quote, < = less than, > = greater than,| = pipeline

Hi, The first 4 digits of the Ross serial number give the date, therefore yours would be May of 1977.
This holds true for all of the ones I've seen so far.

MISC:   Help Identify My Bike Westfield posted by: Paul on 8/11/2003 at 10:59:38 AM
Hi

I recently acquired a Westfield(Columbia?) bike and am trying to figure out what model it it. Original color was black with white striping and atomic symbols on the tank.
Also has a horn in the tank. I believe it is all original except for the repaint and seat. Also no serial number that I could find. It has skip tooth drive-train, which I am going to need a chain for(Help!)

Thanks,
Paul
