Chicago Winter Bike Swap

Anyone heading out to the bike swap at Harper College tomorrow morning? I'm super excited to see what is available! I'm in the middle of my second bike build, and look forward to meeting other fellow bikers!

I'll be there. Also looking for parts for a build. Looking forward to it, I've never been to a bike swap.

I've never been either! My dad used to go to a big on in Rockford, but I never went with him. I can't wait to see what is available! What are you building?

I'm going to build a commuter/cyclocross. I have the drivetrain, but I haven't decided on a frame. What about you?

I've got an old department store no namer that I'm turning into a true fixed gear. The tricky part is that it's a 26 inch wheel size, so finding road wheels for that size is a bit challenging. I'm hearing that you should get to the swap early because of the lines. Just an FYI.
