The 2nd Annual Tacoma Bike Swap happened yesterday on the UPS campus, one of the first events celebrating
Bike Month in Tacoma/Pierce County. The kids and I arrived a little late, but there was still a good crowd and plenty of deals on bikes and parts of every kind. One vendor had a matching pair of folding Raleigh Twentys and some awesome Moultons. Another vendor with a 46cm Surly Cross Check frameset caught my attention, because I didn't know they'd ever been made that small. After chatting with the seller, I eventually spotted my only purchase of the day among his wares:
I plan to retrofit this beauty on to my own green Cross Check, a project which will likely require numerous trips to the hardware store. I can't wait!
The local paper covered the Bike Swap, too. You can read the full article
here (TBR is quoted and linked - woot!) If you stopped at the Swap, what caught your eye?
