Pennsylvania October 2010 | Trexlertown Swap Meet By Conor Brady
Attending the annual swap meet at Trexlertown is like going to a history class on bike parts and kit. Parts, and in some cases brands that no longer grace the the shelves of bike shops get a second life through the swap meet. There are bargains to be had for sure, but most of the tables are populated by parts from days when you drilled them to save weight. It is a true coming together of the east coast cycling community from New York to Philadelphia. I am sure most people head home with a trunk load of kit and like myself wonder “now why did I buy that?”.

Last year your wife gave my daughter a cap that meant the world to us. 10 years we have been going, usually fall and spring, and you guys are the nicest peeps we have ever met.

cheers Michael – you might have got a crank as well if you had come by at the end of the day
