FrankenBike #57 - bicycle swap meet for EVERYBODY!

This weekend's filling up folks, at least the Saturday portion of it. From the sound of things this month's Frankenbike is happening out at Blue Genie on the east side, which should keep a lot of y'all happy:

FrankenBike #57 @ Blue Genie Art Industries 916 Springdale Rd. Bldg. 4 Austin, TX 78702 04/24/10 ~ noon-4pm ~ BYOB

If you've never been to a Frankenbike before here's what to expect: carbon fiber road bikes, old-school english path racers, crappy mountain bikes, expensive BMXes, boxes of FREE parts, derailers under ten dollars, maybe even that exact old-school WTB dirt drop bars you've been looking for for years, and EVERYTHING in-between. It's a treasure trove of parts you never knew you always needed.

Not only that, but it looks like the awesomeness that is Frankenbike is EXPANDING! Look what else is happening in the next month at other locales:

FrankenBike # 1 ~ Asheville, North Carolina ~ April 24, 2010 ~ noon-4pm @ Build It Naturally, 76 Biltmore Avenue adjacent to the French Broad Food Coop. More info @ asheville.frankenbike.net via Drew Gatlin ~ drew@frankenbike.net

FrankenBike # 1 ~ San Antonio, Texas ~ May, 15, 2010 ~ 10:00am till 5:00pm @ Acapulo Drive Inn on 609 s. Alamo St. More info @ sanantonio.frankenbike.net via Henry Parrilla ~ henry@frankenbike.net

BADASS Y'ALL! I like to see a good idea grow, especially to other Texan cities like San Antonio. They recently ok'd a safe passing ordinance of their own, and now they've got a Frankenbike swap meet. Not too bad for our two-wheeled brethren down south.
