I scored a few things that I really wanted, a pair of bullhorns, a stelle italia saddle (white), some clipless shoes and a 650 front tire...all for a pursuit frame that I am building up. All in all it was a blast, lots of cool philly people there.... but the first poster was right, lots of JUNK as well. I cant wait for the next swap on July 9th.
