SUMMIT TWP — Everything was there, except the baseball cards in the spokes, for a group of antique bicycle enthusiasts visiting a Butler County-hosted event.

More than 100 people braved snowy Sunday conditions to travel to Shindigs, 705 Herman Road, Summit Township, for an annual swap meet.

According to organizers Jeff Rapp of Butler and Howard Gordon of Lower Burrell, there were about 27 vendors at Sunday’s meet, selling full bikes, parts and accessories to some of the most iconic bicycles in history.

“Most of what this hobby consists of is what people remember having as kids,” Rapp said.
