Bike Jumble Brooklyn, NY!

[cribbit]

The first Bike Jumble (big swap meet) of 2022 is this Saturday in Park Slope, Brooklyn. http://www.nybikejumble.com/

Had a good number of Paceliners there in the past. Lots of cool people and cool bikes.

I no longer live in NYC but will be there!

EDIT: Updated for 2022!

looks great, would probably be worth a trip up from Philly for me!

Cribbit, are you involved with mechanical gardens? I live a couple blocks from the event, but will be at a birthday party. I have some misc. parts that are 100% functional, but not worth the hassle of selling/shipping that I need to find a good home for.

Yep, mechanical gardens. Donations are always appreciated, we will make sure they get to a good home.

The forecast is looking good. I'll be there splitting a table with a friend.

5 boro tour: rain af every year

Bike jumble: sunny and happy

Someone should update their weather protection

7 people from the co op (including myself) and 1 super awesome honorary member stood outside in the rain for almost five hours fixing flats and other mechanical issues for 5 boro riders a couple of weeks ago.



Support your local bike co op!

It rained the last jumble and I think the one before that.

Another sunny day tomorrow, another bike jumble. 2nd of 3 for the year! Bushwick this time.

Mechanical gardens will be doing bike repair for those in need at the event.

/\ nice, tomorrow will be a nice day. Wish I was down in the city and I would come by. I am sad that I never get to go anymore as I am always up in the catskills during the weekend.

Maybe one day.

Hope some of you find some nice stuff.

When is the third of the year?

Great jumble, the garden location works well but is a little smaller than the Park Slope location and has less foot traffic.

I helped a seller get a nice Spectrum custom titanium sold, which was easy because his asking price was darn cheap. Sold for just $800, full 10spd dura ace including seatpost, king headset, reynolds fork.

Saw a guy sell a very nice dark blue De Rosa fully built with DR fork, stem and seatpost for just $750. Big win for the collector who nabbed it off him.

Saw a nice Serotta change hands.

One seller showed up with about 50 bikes, left with about 5. Some sellers sold a ton, others sold little. Seemed like a good day for full bikes, less so for parts.

A couple different gangs of fixie kids came through with impressive bling.

Mechanical Gardens fixed quite a few people's bikes, including several just sold to them there at the Jumble.

All in all a good day.
