You Should Start a Monthly Bike Swap Meet

2-3 people selling at the last one. i think agency_scum buys as much as he sells though

only 3? isnt bristol UKs 5th biggest city? I'm not having a go anyone, but surely with more advertising it could be bigger?

10th largest...quite an interesting list actually.

Indeed, wasnt meant to be a smart comment, just you got me interested in finding out what the stats were.

I would love to see the Bristol event (or others) grow, if it did it may be worth me travelling from Oxford, but for 3 sellers at the moment it simply isnt.

I think its a great idea even if its a retrobike only thing perhaps.

Nominate a day for everyone to attend and do it from the backs of yer cars maybe. "Retrobike boot fair"....

That sounds great. Only thing is, this actually is a big country. I haven't been to any meets yet as there have been none anywhere near me.

Oh and, er, my bike isn't finished either

I've hinted at holding one in Bromley (20 mins to London by train, M25 Junction 4)

If 5 people here are prepared to say they'll have a stall I'll do one late Spring. I won't hold you to it, but it'll do for market research!

PM or post here

hmmm, not sure I accept that excuse, the peak District isn't exactly on my doorstep but I still made it...

dedication,oh dedication, dedication thats what you need..

Woody, I'd be up for a bromley event but have very little left to get rid of currently...

If you can face the smell of CTC members

Think its 21st 22nd June this year

The idea of a swap meet has been mooted a few times over the last couple of years.

Would be good to see one take place. Hopefully we could make it more of a success than the ill fated stw jumble sale....
