Ripley Cycle Jumble

[IanLummes]

I was wondering has anyone been to the Cycle Jumble at Ripley and have any thoughts about whether it is a good place to find retro mountain gold?
I would like to sell a few bits, but would prefer to do it face to face. Ah, the old ways!

I haven't been for a few years, but it always used to be more popular with the vintage and veteran road crowd. That can mean bargains are to be had because there's less competition for mtb parts, but it wouldn't be my first choice of venue as a seller. Many of the bargains are also snapped up early by eBay resellers.

It's always a good day out though, if the weather stays dry...

What's all this £5 entry before 9am, £1 after?
I shall boycott this event on principle!
