This past Sunday was the 8th annual Midwest Bicycle Swapmeet here in town. The night prior we did our usual “garage ride” where we ride to ours and a couple other’s garages to socialize, look at and talk bikes. This year before the ride started we had a potluck dinner at the park. A pretty good turn-out and a lot of food.
Swap day was a beautiful day for a change. The weather the last couple of years haven’t been so great. We had a good turn-out.
I sold 3 bikes (2 grandkids and the Bike OF Frankenstein) a few parts and various bike related t-shirts I’d collected but never wore.
Below is some of what I brought home. A couple things were given to me, a few things I bought and others (including the cantilever Schwinn) came from the free pile.
In addition to the above I also brought home a couple kickstands, bells a fork and couple junk frames to hack up.
OMG, I would be in heaven…now you have some project material!
Yes it’s kind of overwhelming. So much to look at. Always the next day I wish I’d bought something I’d seen or looked closer for something specific.
