Bike show and killer deal on retro Chris King headsets

[Octsoc]

Went to the NAHBS (US custom builders show) today and saw a tray of 1" aqua Chris King headsets selling for something like $75 each at the Chris King booth. They didn't have the matching hubs so I walked away buying nothing...but now thinking about it after I got home, I should have!!

Other than all the nice bikes I saw, there are quite a few interesting things. Like the brake here from Denmark. Check out the cable that also acts as the lever.

I worked at a bike show in Chicago in the mid 90s and the Briko rep got smashed on margaritas. By the end of the day he was offering Briko Stingers for $30 . . . but I was basically broke at the time.

Those Groovy's are bloody beautiful with a hint of retro along with modern parts.

Like the belt-drive set up on that blue roadie, wonder what the life-span would be on one of them tho?

(Needs a hub-gear and silver components, though )

Wowo, sharp eyes. There are so many things to see, I completely overlooked the cranks behind the tiny frame. They do look Cook Bros.
