dolores park swap meet

so much fun. buying/selling/bartering bike crap, people watching, rape-eyeing bikes. . . . dope. seeing people in real life that you've talked to/learned about/seen pics of/interacted with on web forums in real life. . . and saying nothing. this was the best barter i experienced today:

ken: "how much for these handlebars?"

guy: "how 'bout you just have them?"

ken: "you want something in trade? i brought over some campy stuff- its better than money, you know. . . (holding campagnolo rim and campagnolo rear wheel)

guy: ok, i'll take that rim!

ken: "ok, its a deal. thanks, man!"
