Looking forward to seeing everybody at El Torreon Swap Meet tomorrow...I'm bringing a truck and trailer load so c'mon down...P 8)

 

[nateyboy]

Do I need to pre-register if I want to sell here or do I just show up and set up and pay when someone comes by? Looking forward to it!

 

[dos cruiser]

Just come on down and we'll settle up when you set up.

Well, one more year in the books. I got pictures for you (pick) guys but I don't have time tonight to post them, got to go to a birthday party.
Hopefully, someone else has some too. I'll post mine some guys.

I've alright started on next years, BIG 13.

Had a great time, I went mostly to sell, and I ended up selling a lot... the Admiral has a new home, along with a ton of small parts.

the only item I bought home, a 700c wheelset for a project.

Glad I brought a canopy... it got pretty warm before it was all over with.

I almost made it. I blew a tire on hwy.71 south of peculiar. By the time I got it fixed it was too late to go up to the swap meet. I guess there's always next year. :shock:

We had a great weekend in KC. El Torreon/Cowtown Mallroom was good to us. Even though I didn't find anything I was looking for, I did come away with this pile of goodies.

Thanks for all the fun I had a awesome time yesterday. Everyone is so nice. IF we make it out next year, I'll have Quiggly come with us as well A couple of those things in LowpowerD's pictures were for my bikes.

I'd show pictures of what I found, but I don't think anyone cares about non bike related items. LIke a rare FAO Scwarz exclusive Steiff Poodle around the era of the mid to late sixties for 4 dollars.. And over 85 dollars in yarn for 5 dollars... A poodle brooch for 35 dollars i got for 5 dollars.. Stuff like that.. No one looks for that stuff on this forum.

Ps: Ladies, there's some really cool stuff here, there were two places to run off to while the boys talked amongst themselves about bicycles and did their thing, including Cowtown Mallroom was two full floors of constant looking. It's worth the fun

 

[Ratfink1962]

Forgot to thank Little Blue Trike for watching my booth while I went shopping... So, Thank you!

It was nice to actually see what everyone else brought to sell.

 

[LittleBlueTrike]

I can't keep the buy hobbyists from finding what they need to find at the bike swap, I was happy to sell stuff for you You're welcome Mitch.

Well we'd really like to make it back again some year but this year the TDF and cooler weather was calling us. Hopefully next year.
