[garagegoon]

i'm looking for a dogleg crank arm?.....not schwinn! trying to help a friend fix his bike. thanks if you have one.

I have one with some patina as well... I will bring it with me...

I really waited too late to get started. Haven't felt worth a crap so I couldn't get motivated to move till yesterday. Slowly making progress.
Shuffled some bikes, tore some down, swapped some parts and hauled some things around today. Nap time now.

BTW I can't buy any of your stuff unless you first buy mine... or give me a line of credit :lol:

Remember that the Udall Custom Bikes booth will be accepting credit cards!

 

[LowpowerD]

Don't worry Randy, I havn't really started yet either. I've got handle bars and rims sorted.

Jon, check yer Facebook.

Randy... got an idea.... how about we sell off your storage unit like they do on that Storage Wars show, High bid takes it all!!! and the only things you have to move, are the Keepers. :mrgreen:

Got a small load put together... a few goodies but mostly just junk Ive been tripping over. :roll:

 

[udallcustombikes]

I am up to 10 bikes to bring since I picked two more up at a garage sale this morning. These two aren't anything spectactular, just a kids bike and a MTB with a disc brake on the front.

Like I said before... I gotta make my deals when I can... Because I wont have much time the day of the swap.

I also have plenty to sell, but wont have time for that either.... Tim offered to help, but I cant put that on someone, thats a lotta work!

Hey you could have a pre swapmeet ride garage sale :roll: :mrgreen:

If I was to get the prices they do on Storage Wars I'd open my shed and let the bidding wars commence. Only things I'd keep are the tandem trike, my moped and my fiance's Hollywood.

That would be interesting. Winner might be disappointed though.

I've made progress. All the keepers are home now.

I think I'll have 10 or 11 complete bikes, 1frame/fork and a few parts. Out of all this I can only think of a couple things that might be of interest to this bunch.

Bringin down the good stuff! :mrgreen:

 

[Ratfink1962]

just got confirmation we will have a guy coming all the way from South Dakota bringing bikes!!!

 

[udallcustombikes]

How much longer will our current venue be able to fit us in??? This year is gonna be BIG!!!!!

 

[aka_locojoe]

Such a great spot. Would hate to have to move it. I wonder if we could expand in to the parking area? Most sellers park in the swap area. Buyers can park at library or park. I probably won't be taking up space next year.

 

[Ratfink1962]

Im not sure, but I believe this year is gonna test the capacity for sure.

I have a backup plan for this year in case it blows up ... which would be expanding into the south parking lot.

I would hate to turn anyone away, and Im pretty sure we can accomodate everyone, but we may not be able to spread out as much as in the past. I still dont want to measure out 10' x 10' spaces though.

Loading up a few things...

 

[ODDER]

Hope it not too late to throw my hat in the ring. I just found out that I will not be working on Sunday! I got a small truckload of things to sell. If not, I will still be able to come and look/ possibly buy something. Looking for a Krate front wheel with drum brake. If ya got one let me know.

 

[pick]

Glad you are gonna make it Judd!

 

[ODDER]

Me too brother! gonna bring the whole crew. (my buddy and our sons) been gathering parts all afternoon.
