One of you shorties NEEDS to pick up that Mark V frame. I own 3 IRO frames and I swear by them. 9am-5pm @ Mellow Johnny's. Get there EARLY for the good stuff. Roadies wake up at the crack of dawn and have deep pockets. Don't let them snag all the good gear before you've awoken from your PBR and schwag-induced haze to ride your fixie down to the swap. Just go without sleep and be there first.

The fine people at Mellow Johnny's hosted a "Mellow Swap" around this time last year and it was GREAT SUCCESS, so they figured they'd really do it up this time around, with ads in the paper, musical guests, food and beer:

Saturday November 14 we'll be hosting Mellow Swap again. For those that made it last year thanks. It was a huge success last year. We're going a bit bigger this year and will be running ads in Chron and Statesmen so for sellers it should improve traffic even more.

Sadly, due to our MTB race and Thanksgiving scheduling we're on the same date as Frankenbike, so we're encouraging everyone to spread the love and visit both events. We're running 9-5, free to attend for shoppers, booth space costs vary and you can split.

Contact Erin@mellowjohnnys.com to book. Price will include chairs and table, you can bring you own pop-up.

What is different about Mellow Swap is that we bring in as many of our retail partners as possible that have samples, demo's, and great deals on great stuff. Names like Mavic, Pearl Izumi, Timbuk, Sugoi, RVCA and many teams selling off product.

After a year of sponsorship and gathering items we'll also be selling closeout and team demo bikes, goods, and new stuff at cost or below cost in some cases.

Our friends at Fat Tire are kicking in with some tasty beverages and we'll be grilling. Hope you make it out.

If you want to sell stuff you can pay them $50 and they'll set you up with a table and chairs. Contact Erin if you want to make that happen, but do it quick because space is limited. It's free to attend however, so if you just want to get your shop on show up from 9-5 and spend that skrilla.

If you're operating on a budget and want to sell stuff for free, Frankenbike is happening on the same day and all you gotta do is show up with your gear and start making deals. Not trying to steal Mellow Swap's thunder, but times are tough for all of us.
