Anyone going to the swap meet at Norther Cycles in Portland, OR?

Norther Cycles, my favorite bike shop in Portland, is having their fourth annual bike/bike part swap meet on Saturday, September 30th.

I'll be there.

Anyone else planning on checking it out?

My wife and I were at their last one with a table, but live out of state now so wont be there this time. It was a lot of fun, and there's definitely some cool items there from the various sellers that show up. The last one was 2 mos ago btw, not a year ago.

It should be a pretty good time. I attended the first one but that was a few years back.

Anyone else partaking?

Maybe, wish they would incorporate a C+V, handmade, something or other show with these.

Also kind of short notice as I don't monitor their deal like I should.

They had one the same day as the last Velocirque. I stopped by and bought a 6503 crankset that was pretty cheap. I got there near the end and some people had already started packing up. There were still some nice bits on offer.

I probably won't make this one as I'll be at a CX race in Dayton that morning and into the afternoon.

From what I've seen, the items offered up are C&V. Swap meets and modern/new components just don't really seem to go together.

Agreed, not proposing modern stuff, just a show for C+V, handmade, retro, cool, etc.
