Bike Swap Meet This Sunday

Written by Boston Biker on Sep 29

From Ant Bike Mike’s Blog

We are going to have a Bicycle Swap Meet this Sunday October 3rd 2pm to 5pm.

The event will be held at the parking lot of Metro Pedal Power and in conjunction with Electric City Cyles in Somerville MA at:

11 Olive Sq Somerville MA.[Union Sq area]

Hopefully we will not have to many people drawn away to the Cyclo-Cross race in Gloucester!

The weather is looking good, so a good day for the meet. I will have a lots of components that I need to move on and several bikes that I would like to find homes for:

New saddle bags, WALD big mesh baskets, Mavic front hubs, Pauls disc front hub, Level rear fixed/free mtn hub and many other parts new and used.

I have 2 Schwinn 5 speed diamond frame Suburbans with new tires, brake pads, chain and cables. WALD rear baskets on both $60.00 each

I have a 80s Schwinn 62cm road bike. New powder red metallic coat, cables, apds, tires, chainrings. $120.00

Maybe some other various ANT bikes at great deals.

Hope to see you there.

Last years I got a wheel for 9 bucks, it was pretty rad.
