| Where is the Ann arbor bike swap meet located?? |
| There was a mistake on the Ann Arbor/Saline web site. It listed the date of the show as the 23. The event is actually the 30th of April. The web site has now been corrected. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. The Ann Arbor/Saline show and swap is located at the Washtenaw County fairgrounds about a half hour east of Detroit, Michigan. Go to the web site to see a map. |

| About a year ago I tossed out a bunch of old Raleigh and Sturmey-Archer 3-speed parts: New cables, triggers, pulleys, etc. I figured nobody would want them, seeing as I can find a Raleigh at the local Goodwill for $10 to $20 every day of the week. Now I see these things going for $15 to $35 each on Ebay. Why didn't I look around before tossing them? And they are so easy to pack! |
| A lot of folks threw this stuff away. You would be surprised. I bought things at one place and was given permission to go into the dumpster at another place. The 10 speeds came in the 3 speeds went out. The waste was and still is astounding. Now you know. |
