I'm heading up to the Bean this evening and could bring some goodies. Feeling frivolous and in need of change. Anyone wanna swap?

It figures you'd want to do something like that this weekend after I was up there last weekend You may have convinced me to trade the Lenton Tourist for one of those.

I'm thinking of selling/trading my '83 Trek 620 (~21inch) since I am building up my Miyata Triplecross for an all-weather commuter and it will be somewhat redundant. I'm on the look out for interesting 'racy' type bikes or frames in Boston.

Doubt you'd want the pug but we could always have a swap meet, if anyone else is interested.

I'll be in the city this weekend but not really interested in either of the bikes you mentioned. I would swap you that red Cannondale handlebar bag for that ss crankset you posted on CL / Serotta though...

Did you get my email about that lot of flip bikes? Any interest in hustling bikes next summer or should I pursue selling them to that other dude?

I've got a Trek 710 from about that same era that I believe is the same size I would consider swapping. It's more "sport toury" than it is "racy" though...

Done on the crankset for bar bag. Yes I got it, sorry i haven't replied. I'm still on the fence and don't know what/where I'll be [doing] in the near future.

I'm here this weekend if anyone wants to do a swap. I'm not really interested in anything thus far mentioned, but I could always pull out my parts bin generate some trade fodder. Let me know... Are you here tomorrow or are you heading back tonight?

I'm currently working in the Boston area during the week and home to the Raleigh area every weekend. I had a couple of bikes up here but shipped them home in October. Still, if there's a really good deal out there, I wouldn't mind adding something. I'd really like to find a Celeste, Bianchi steel frame from the 90's or early 2000's .
