Hello,
I've done some searching and have not been able to find anything. I was wondering if there are any bike/gear swaps in Colorado? I was able to find some information regarding swaps that have already taken place, but nothing for the future.
Thanks
Jeremy

VeloSwap in October is huge. I don't know of any other than that though.

Thanks fenny.
Oct seems like an odd time of the year for a bicycle swap, but at least that gives me plenty of time to get organized.
Thanks again.

April 10 in downtown Grand Junction is Mog Fest and a bike swap.
Mog Fest is local outdoor gear retailers selling stuff. I'm not sure how good the deals will be.
They added a bike swap this year. It costs $5 to get in and buy. Sellers have to donate % to ....something. (I forget what)
Past bike swaps here have had very few sellers and buyers, and they were free to get in.
I'm going to check it out from a distance before I decide to spend $5 to get in.

I wish we had a good bike swap in this town....

Salvagetti Bicycle Workshop (http://www.salvagetti.com/) also started up one on July 4th a few years ago, nowhere near the size of VeloSwap (http://veloswap.com/).
