4/22/12 Midwest Bicycle swapmeet

Was the free pile just yours or was it a community pile? Either way great idea I think I can round up some freebees

[Ratfink1962]

You know.... that sounds like a great idea!

Im sure I can find an area to dedicate to a "community pile" of freebies.

my only issue would be what happens to all the stuff that is left over at the end of the day?

[LowpowerD]

It was just mine. Out in front of my booth. I was scared for a bit because people kept adding to it!
Then all of a sudden some dude can along and took it all. He said he was an artist and one of his mediums was old bike junk. If you were at The Art of The Bicycle show then you saw some of his work.
Free stuff is cool and all, but if no one wants it you got to drag it home.

Just a FYI... Harry the pinstriper will be on site, so if you need ANYTHING pinstriped, Harry is they guy!!!

Ive gotta say, I have seen a LOT of different pinstripers and their work, but this Harry kid... One of the best by far! I dont know how he does it, but all of his designs are symmetrical, both sides match. A lot of guys CANT do this, you will be able to spot differences from one side to another.

Very talented dude, and we are lucky to get him.

That's awesome I was just thinking about some white pinstripeing on my Hawthorne on the forks and rear rack so I will bring it with me

Harry has laid down lines on two of my bikes. He has an old school look that you wouldn't expect from someone so young. I hope he has some time to do my Rollfast. I might just hit him up before hand...

I cleaned the garage yesterday and I have a bigger pile of stuff for the swapmeet than I thought I think the trick is not comming home with more than I brought . I bought a balloner frame from Thad a couple of weeks ago going to build it with 24 x 3 tires headed to Tom Sawyers in the morning for some goodies

Put me down for a booth! Don't know if I will have anything to sell or not, but it's worth it to me just to be able to attend & for the priviledge of buying!!!

I tell ya what... I will split the cost with ya... we can share the booth... this way more stuff in one area ...
