[Closed] Swinley Bike Jumble - 8th December

Have you got a printable version of that poster? I could stick one up in the shop for you. 🙂

Peter

I do indeed.

Can I email it to you?

Thanks for the support,

Paul

Email in profile mate.
I'd love to come but I'm working 🙁

That sounds a lot of fun!! Maybe we can all go to Halfords afterwards and ask PP loads of inane bike questions 😈

There has been talk of the provision of cake.

And tea.

🙂

I don't start until 13th December.

Might pop along for a gander.

Well done that man!

I shall check with the SO that I'm not otherwise engaged on the 8th, and then I may well email you about a table.

May be popping along to buy and sell.

subject to checking availability, count me in.

I'll be there, selling.

Oh what the hell, probably buying too :-\

Here busy that day, shed could do with clearing out as well.

That is impressive concept to execution longtallpaul. Didnt fancy the tricounties idea then. I will be there, window shopping only...

Thanks all - if you want a table, email me and I will put you on the list.

If it goes well will this be a biannual thing? 🙂

Akira- Hopefully. 😀

Lets see how we do this time, and then see where we go from there...

Will pop along too. Good work.

A little bump for the daytime crowd...

And one for the evening crowd 😉

And the friday morning "pretending to read e-mails" crowd

I'll take a table 8)

Cheers Tiger- drop me an email.

I'm going to rummage in the garage in the weekend and come up with a list of what I'll be bringing.

It's quite a lot!

:o)

How big are the tables (serious question).

There has been talk of the provision of cake.

And tea.

I upgraded that to a definate when I told the roadies as its Sunday morning so no chance otherwise.

Lots here too, but not got a scooby how to price things 😕

Based on your ability to harm yourself with a bike you should probably pay people to take it away and take up tiddlywinks

(Aimed at TINAS - didn't quite reply quick enough)

I'm off to scope out the hall tomorrow, so will get table dimensions for you.

I will also be scoping out the tea and coffee making facilities...

After months of arguing with the missus about buying a boat, snapping my arm riding a bike seems to have convinced her very quickly that a boat might be a safer hobby!

Lots here too, but not got a scooby how to price things

ebay-20% (as its fees are 10% and postage on top of that), I'm going with £1/£5/£10/£20 boxes and rounding the price in my head upto those, then let people haggle down again to the number in my head. My sheds so full I'd rather sell a £10 part for a fiver though than have to box it up again, list it individualy on the classifides for a tenner, post it, and still only end up with a fiver.

Will bring a couple of complete bikes too, but they'll be priced more realisticaly.

oh I like the idea of the boxes, thanks.

Yeah there is lots that I just want to find a home for, to be used (and abused).

oooh, could be interested in coming along to this.
if anyone has a Sunn BMIX (or similar) they want to sell, bring it along.
or a pair of light fixed road wheels.
I'm not sure if I have anything to sell.... say I did have a couple of things, but didn't want a table, what can I do?

Gonna be bring lots of 9spd Campag road gear 😯 (Retro tastic)

2 Sets of Road wheels (Campag compatible)

Carbon Steerer 100mm Rebas

Some Ritchey wheels

Easton Monkey lite carbon bars

About 9 rear mechs

Size 9 Spesh shoes

Loads of Handlebars

Kaffenback frame & forks

This Trek SS

It goes on and on

and

arguing with the missus about buying a boat

Shall I bring my Boat I've got for sale to the Jumble??

Well- the tables are going quite quickly, so if wanyone wants one who hasn't dropped me a line, please do so.

I went and checked out the hall on Saturday, and its perfect for the event. Plenty of parking available and about a 5 minute drive from The Lookout.

Cheers all!

Well, we still have tables available, so please drop me a line if you are interested...

Cheers!

Paul

I know some people who have 'a bit' but not a whole tables worth too. Might be worth offering something like a drop in table perhaps?

I've been thinking about that... Maybe half tables?

Suggestions welcome...

Just under a week to go ...

Still a few tables left.

🙂

Tootallpaul why not post on the SFMB facebook page (swinley forest mountain bike) and also southern bike shop. All very active forums with loads of members..... Not seen anything on either of these regarding this.

Whats the crack, are you sending some instructions?

Cheers Doncorleoni will get posting there tomorrow.

Tiger6791 - I will be sending out instructions to table holders tomorrow.

All straightforward enough...

Today's the day!

Come on down...

Profits now spent in a mix of the greengrocer, sweetshop, and pub 🙂

Had a good day,

[b]Sold:[/b] Rotors, Wheels, Forks, QR Skewers, Bleed kits

[b]Bought :D[/b] Wingnut, XTR Shifters, Hope Brakes, SLX Rear Mech

Lot's of bargains to be had, had to keep stopping myself and remember I was there to reduce the items I had

Enjoyed it very much. Didn't sell much, but had I wanted, I could have specced a frameless Cx bike and we could have easily built a bike or two to ride home on. That Ti singlespeed road bike was lovely.

Thanks Paul.

Well worth the visit for me - will keep an eye out for the next one.

Cheers for all who turned up. Shame there weren't more punters!

Still, I had a great time, and it was great to meet all of you.

Will post up a few pictures tomorrow.

Plans are afoot for the next one...

Many thanks,

Paul

I think it'll grow as word spreads - good effort guys!

Had a good day too. Sold enough to make it worth my while but still plenty left for the next one.

Friendly crowd too.
