At Veloswap--the nation's largest annual bicycle swap meet and show--at the Cow Palace in SF was Shimano. Apparently, Ultegra this year has went the way of Dura Ace for the crankset, which to me, still looks aesthetically-questionable and rather Darth-Vader-like. "It's like a woman without a belly button!" I recalled someone posting on a Usenet newsgroup.

5 minutes after I arrived I ran into my friend David Hung, who managed to find quite a few parts for his several bicycles. Seems like I run into Dave every half year or so, somewhere.

This booth sold posters, including "Podium Girl Gone Bad" and "Carpe Diem, Lance Armstrong. Go for six!" (He already did.)

Spiffy fat-tire low-rider...
