    I only have mediums and large ones left (also note they ran small). Drop me a note if you're interested. :)

    I got there too late to do the group ride, so I did a solo loop. Afterwards I was able to get a Jersey, a seat and some elbow pads. Good times!

    Big group ride before the Meet, haven't seen that many riding The Sunday Loop in a while. When we got back to the parking lot I was surprised to see the number of people setup there. Dino had a huge easy up with tables showcasing the goods, while most of us simply sold from the back of our vehicles.

    More importantly the event brought together a lot of new and old STR folk. Donny made his return to riding after breaking his arm a few weeks back and I was glad to see Chuck up and walking around after being hospitalized.

    I managed to sell a few things too, but just had a good time hangin out there.

    This was a killer swap meet. The parking lot was packed! Then the Yeti demo fleet shows up and it looked like we took over most of the lower lot.

    I sold stuff and bought stuff. Just the way I like it.

    yeah, the yeti guy apparently didn't know the swap meet was going on. he was like "wow, this is a lot of people to be here for a demo..." when he drove into the lot. nice guy...

    Nice turnout today and really good folks. Lots of goodies on sale. It was great meeting some of the STR regulars today. I met Dino over at the tent while he was hanging up some wheels. I also bought a DVD there. Didn't find the wheel-set I was hoping to snatch but that's ok. No dice on an STR jersey for my size. I understand they run small so if theres another production run later on new jerseys I'll buy one then. I'm not sure if it was LBmtb but he gave me some STR stickers. Thanks to him again. I took a peek at the Yetis. Sweet rigs! :wave:

    Is that with the XC, club, or DH fit shirts?

    Nice to see some familiar faces again. Was able to sell most of my stuff, but I closed up a bit early since I wanted to check out the other sales. Eventually scored some road drops for $1! :bang::beer:

    I sold a pair of 5050XX underneath the giant red easy-up. Not sure if that's who were referring to, but if it is, thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks to everyone who showed up. Gave me a chance to get rid of a bunch of my odd nic-nacs I had lying around. I apologize to all the people I didn't get a chance to chat with. It was a little hectic trying to sell stuff and fix bikes at the same time.

    Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to check out what others were selling. I guess it was good for my bank account though. I have a tendency to buy more than I sell. :lol:

    Thanks to Chocobochick and that other guy for helping me out. If it weren't for you two coming over to help me transport all my stuff this would not have been possible for me. :beer:

    First swap meet I was actually able to make it to. Great turnout, and I'm glad I brought some of my old crap to get sold to people who could use it.

    Pato, I was gonna thank you by PM for letting me use some of your easy-up/table space to sell my stuff but your in box is full. :?: Check you messages man!! :lol:

    No worries man. Glad to be off assistance. I've cleared out the my messages. Just got inundated with questions about the parts I had for sale. It was just a long busy week trying to prepare for the swapmeet.

    I know I sold a lot of stuff, but for some reason it just seemed like I had to put away more stuff after the sale than I packed to bring with me. :?:

    Dino, I'm sorry that, with all the stuff I brought to sell, I couldn't seem to find any biking skills for you to buy.
