It was pretty dull
I went quite late on (11:45 ish - I'm usually queueing at 08:30) remembering that last year I did most of my buying after 12 when things had calmed down a little and you could actually get to the stalls!
I also remembered the abundance of track frames, parts and peripherals last year as I was only really looking for a few road bits - last year was awesome!
I went with the intention of maybe getting a really nice track frame relatively cheap - and that I did - but apart from the odd Dolan a barrage of snide Chinese carbon looking Hinde's and a Bianchi pista concept there were no other track frames there that I saw! And certainly next to no decent parts. It was more like a glorified cycle orientated car boot sale with most people trying to flog massively overpriced old shite.Was very very happy with my purchases however had I not snaffled that frame I'd have been very disappointed!

I found the jumble so disappointing! I couldn't go the past few years and always had to put up with everyone talking about how great it was/showing off all their purchases, was this year just a bad one off? The only thing that caught my eye was that beautiful Donohue 853 frame and fork but I managed to resist temptation.
