I was there (as a buyer) and thought there was a good spread of sellers and the prices were very fair. Bought a few bits that I actually needed but, unusually, resisted buying anything that I didn't have an immediate use for - I think a lot of bike builders/restorers/fiddlers are thinking along...

Finally got round to servicing the forks on the old Focus this week, so went for a quick 15 mile spin along the Teversal Trail today. No trains at Teversal station though :)
