Swap Meet Sept. 2024

[Retro_Roy]

hi all
one of the first signs that summer is coming to an end. the fall swap meet is almost upon us.

i have my want/need list going. do you? hopefully find bits and pieces to complete a build or two.

who knows what treasure might show up this time. even if you don't need anything come down
and hang out. it is a great social gathering of friends appreciating bikes. or bring down your latest
or favorite steed and show it off. i am sure someone will ask you about it.
see ya there.

I so wish to make one of these in the near future. but these mountains between us make it so difficult. I'd be looking for a 90's Flite worthy of a recover. and orphan Holey skewers to reunite with the ones I have (purple, gold,and black) just saying.

I'm in Winnipeg. If I start pedalling now I just might make it.

out of left field, did you buy an LX RD off me on eBay?

Yep, started out yesterday from Australia with a pocketful of anodised parts

i heard from a buddy that someone we know is cycling from just outside
edmonton to our swap meet. that is close to 1200km. he regularly attends
but drives.

From the photos I've seen, these swap meets always look like the real deal for mtb goodies, not like the 'jumbles' we have here in the UK, which mostly deliver swathes of 1950's/60's/70's road bike parts.

Not jealous at all

Hi there, no that wasn't me. I don't even have an ebay account. If you have a Rocky Mountain Sherpa 30 in an XXL then I'll get one though!

Where I live in Eastern Canada, the people who bought the good stuff back in the 80/90s are reaching a certain age, downsizing and selling off old things as they clear out the garage. Many good things showing up lately
