Bob, The Big Daddy of all Swaps, in Nor. Cal. atleast, is Vance Sprock's Cupertino Bike Shop Swap Meet, held every year in late April. There's also the Trips for Kids Swap, up your way, in July. And Velo Swap, the Denver swap organized by Velo News, was toying with the idea of bringing a swap to the SF Bay Area.
And we cannot forget to mention the San Diego swaps, held at the Balboa Park velodrome.
Ted Ernst had a nice little swap a couple years ago, in the parking lot of his bike shop in So. Cal. That was very fun, and I think that was where I sold Chuck Schmidt his first wool jersey. Gave him a good deal, to get him hooked. Now he has a $500 a day habit.
See you at the Swap.
