Hey Everyone,
I've never attended a bike swap meet and we have what is claimed to be the largest in the Southeast this weekend. I have a really nice Salsa Las Cruces cyclocross bike that doesn't fit very well and I'm thinking about hauling up to swap meet. My question is if this is alright to do? I don't want to be the only guy trying to maneuver a bike through the crowd. I'm hoping to either sell it or ideally trade it for a 29er mountain bike. Is it realistic to think someone would be willing to trade bikes?
Any insight you can provide would be great. I've attended hundred of gun shows were it is perfectly acceptable to bring in your own gear and sell and trade. I just wasn't sure about bike swap meets since this will be my first.
Thanks for your time,
Rob
