Swap your bicycle stuff at GABA Swap Meet (new location)

by on Nov. 05, 2012, under Health, Life

My husband and I are bikers and we have a lot of extra bike stuff. If you are like us, head over to the Fall 2012 GABA Swap meet on to sell or exchange some of your bicycle equipment, clothing, misc. stuff. This Fall swap meet is held annually a week before El Tour de Tucson, which will be held on November 17, 2012. New this year due to Sun Link Construction – the swap meet will be on 5th Avenue (see info below from GABA’s website):

Still the same and yet different ( new improved and old fashioned). We’re scheduled for Saturday, November 10, 2012 , from 8am through 2pm. We’ll have four blocks of the street closed off to car traffic, centered at the corner of 5th avenue and 7th Street, just West of historic 4th Avenue. This will be our second bike swap at this spot. It was good last April and it should be great this November. Even though it’s not on 4th Avenue, we still have a great partnership with the Fourth Avenue Merchants Association (FAMA).

    Us mtn bike cyclists could benefit from a bike swap meet more often. The Tanque Verde Swap Meet is next to useless for biking enthusiasts. I need to upgrade my old 1987 Specialized Rockhopper Comp or sell it off and start over with something more modern. Thanks for the heads up on this.

      You bet, this GABA swap meet usually has something for everyone.
