Darren, if you actually believe a Weather Forecast 10 days out, I have some land to sell you in FLA! 1000 Cars. I guess that's more cars that the town of Sycamore has in it.
How do they find parking for all of them? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

They basically close down the whole downtown area and fill the streets with cars. We typically get there at about 7-7:30 and there are already a good amount of cars there. Some people get there the night before. Now about that land...?

Where the hell is Sycamore??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

If I can't see the Sears Tower from my roof top then it is way to far for me! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

So, who's planning on being there? And what time will you be arriving?

And is there any shade? Not that it makes any difference when it's 95 degrees. I'm working up a sweat today, just thinkin'.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

We are getting there about 700 and there is shade on side streets. there is about 7 of us going so far.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

After checking the extent of my heater core leak, I found the carpet & padding soaked, so I guess I'll be fixing that tomorrow, instead of going to Sycamore. At least I have AC in the shop!

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

So, what did I miss? Any thunderstorms this morning?

I did get the old heater core out, cut out the saturated carpet padding, and scrubbed the carpet, trying to get the antifreeze dried up. Never even left home today. I will be ready for the Monmouth Cruise, and the Fred Gibb show next weekend.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

It was another great show....but very Hot! Darren and I left around noon.

Dan.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Very hot is an understatement. Thank god it rained a bit. I took most of my pictures of the Schwinn collection. That was air conditioned.

We peeked into the local bike shop on the main drag. They had some of the repop krate bikes. Dan and I went in to look. The guy working there said if you like those you might like what we have upstairs...

2nd floor was filled with bikes. All originals and all for sale.

3rd floor was the museum. All original bikes NOT for sale.

I was pretty floored.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Yes....this very well might be the largest collection of Schwinn`s in the country. These pics only show a fraction of the endless rows of "Krate`s and Deluxe" bikes....mostly all originals...very cool. Darren and I were just amazed
at all the bikes.

Dan.

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Did you come home with any? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Hmmmm... Lemon Peeler Krate or 837 Alternator? Decisions, decisions. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Dan, I think NOS will have to restore one of those Schwinn`s for Mia in a few years! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Sycamore, IL car cruise
 

Jeff,

Yes....most likely she`ll want a "Grape Crate" or perhaps a "Cotton Picker"
