Ya the swap meet is on Sunday june 26th at the Cambrian Welsh Hall in Vancouver. I took some photos because I'm breaking up my collection. I don't ride these bikes so much anymore. Heres the first 4 that are ready to go. Thanx Skylar for helping get these ready and checking my mechanic skills.

The first ones a boys golden yellow 1969 Eatons Glider w/ sturmey three speed.
The second is a girls purple metal flake 1970 Eatons Glider w/ sturmey three speed.
The third is a boys red metal flake Mercury single speed with coaster brake.
The fourth is a girls semigloss black cruiser of unknown pedigree.

I bought them at garage sales and the first two were given to me. When your known to like old bikes people just start handing them over. It can be fun but its distracting as well and I have storage issues.

The Swap meets at 215 E 17th Vancouver June 26th @ 9:30 or 9 I forget. I have a couple few more that will be be cleaned up today. Will post again.

the yellow one would be wicked for riding everywhere, and the red one would be dope for riding along the seawall or other places to pimp an old school bike

Got two more ready
The first ones a custom 5 speed chopper I made 3 years ago. Phsyco Yellow powdercoat all flat black details.
The second ones a custom chopper I built 2 years old. Its a 16" front triangle w/ 20" rear and raked head tube.
My son is 9 now, he doesn't fit the second one, and he doesn't want ride choppers now that he has a BMX.
Sad to see these go but other people will enjoy them so..........
I don't think I'll have time to get any more ready for tomorrow. Hope some of you will come out and see some of the older bikes. Have a good weekend.
