Well!......................I've never been to Dales......................BIG PARTY! There's always something going on overhere, Like QUEENS BIRTHDAY! If you're into swap meets and partying then Holland is the place to be. Here in Eindhoven there was several areas where the awaps were happening, the biggest swap and party place covered about 6 city blocks with people selling their goods all over the place, streets, sidewalks and wherever there was room to lay out your goods. Bands were going and the buying and selling was fast and furious. Picking of bike stuff was ''GREAT!''.I walked away with a few good buys, the best of them all was a Raleigh 531 TEAM bike. Frame is in very good condition and the lady said they only rode on it for a few times and that was it, it looks like she was telling the truth. The biggest problem is the transfers and some paint, looks like it's got it's fair share of moving it from here to there type of thing the finally it was time to sell it. And sell it did for.................$ 25.-!......Colnago, GIOS and so on!

A few days earlier I went on a buy with a friend of which I was only planning on tagging along................Anyway he came up empty handed!...............While I ended up going for the deal!.....................300 framesets, newer Atalas and Bertins. Anyway I was looking and the seller says $ 60.- I said cool, ok price........Soon after the price came down to $ 40.-.................One guy says we really want to sell. OK! Talk to me. Well we have around 300 framesets...............Well that a lot for $ 40.- a pop! OK!.........they then came up with $ 22.50, yeh!........But where in the hell am I going to put 300 framesets??..........Then they said $ 20.-................I still need to make room for them!?!?!............Then the offer came..............$ 10.-! OK!......I'll take them! OK!.............Where to put the 13 pallets.

Maybe next year!?!?!
