Everything bicycle — from whole bikes down to individual sprockets — will be for sale cheap at the Cascade Bicycle Club's 17th annual Seattle Bike Swap.
The only advice is to arrive early for the sale that runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall at 225 Mercer St.
More than 100 vendors have signed up for all the table space as of Thursday. They include bike shops trying to clear out some inventory as well as home mechanics with stuff to sell.
Although it's too late to get a table, you can still bring in a bicycle to sell on consignment.
The cost is $10 plus 10% of the final price, and the bikes will be priced to move so don't expect to get top dollar. Cascade's share of consignment sales goes to the Major Taylor Program.
The exhibition center entrance is right on Mercer. Cascade says there's free parking in the area because it's Sunday; pay parking is available too. If you come by bicycle, bike racks will be available next to the center. Bring a lock, as the racks will be unattended.
Admission is $5 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. After 1, it's free. Also, it's free for kids all day long.
Happy shopping.
