Swap Meet at the LA Velodrome Jan 28

[Slack]

I have no idea how good or bad it will be, so don't blame me. The
velodrome is right next door to the Home Depot Center, Cal State Dominguez
and just a couple miles from the 110 & 91 fwy intersection.
I'm going to try yo make it because I'd like to pick up a little 48cm
track bike. Hopefully they'll be some mtb stuff, too.

http://lavelodrome.org/Events/20070128SwapMeet.pdf


Be careful and don't go sight seeing when you get off the freeway;
although the velodrome isn't in a real bad area, Compton and Watts are
just up the street. I wouldn't want to hear about you overly white people
get'n shot.

And you'll just use you east LA Chicano slang on any perpetrators that
come by? Better pick up a rainbow skull cap. That'll confuse them.

Get there early if you want the good stuff. The one in eastern PA was
only good for the first hour.

Naw, I almost always get along well with our dark brothers and especially
the sistas

Thanks, that was what I was wondering -- I'm assuming it will be rather
limited/small pickings. Plus, I just realized they are running a race that
same day.

Trexlertown? First hour AND last hour.

First hour you can get all the used, weird, interesting stuff from they
guys selling stuff on top of a sheet on the grass. Last hour is when
you hit the bike shops who don't want to have to put that stuff back
into the truck.

It's a good time.

That's how it works in Trexlertown, anyway. No experience with the Home
Depot deal, but I'll bet there'll be lots of interesting vintage steel
stuff in So Cal that wouldn't survive the Northeast's weather.

I'd really like to stop by to check it out but in all likelihood I'll be
moving that weekend.

Crescenta, La Canada, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre or Monrovia.
Sierra Madre is our top choice because of trail access up Mt Wilson and
it's a nice area but currently there are only 2 places for rent under
$2000 a month.



That's the START point? Wow, that's nuts. I thought Boston was bad,
but you can get a decent spot for a grand, and 2 will get you something
really nice, really big or with a view. Anyway, good luck.

I read in the Times a couple of weeks ago that the median rent in Los
Angeles county is $1700. 6 years ago it was $600.
