Car boot sale - 7pm Monday 23 July, Lamb Doyle's Car Park

ryan_sherlock

Two years ago we ran a car boot sale up at the Blue Light (Dublin Mountains) one evening (this was my post - http://ryansherlock.blogspot.ie/2010/05/biking-car-boot-sale-june-1st.html).

Do Monday evenings work for most clubs/folk? Just trying to find a team that suits most people - I would think about doing it next Monday (6 days from now).

Me, I have tons of stuff, new and used: wheels, stems, saddles, posts, tires, tubes, BBs, cranks, bikes, clothing. Probably half a bike shop to sell!

I would propose Monday - somewhere close to the Dublin mountains in one of the pub marking lots (Taylors/Blue Light etc...).

What do folks think?

Jawgap

Great idea, but being purely parochial here and having no idea of the space requirments, is there any scope for organising it in the city centre - down around Grand Canal Quay or somewhere around the Point or IFSC.

What about at or in the vicinity of the Rothar Cafe?

lennymc

id love to go but cant do mondays because of the club league. Would wednesday be a better night?

dave_o_brien

Wednesday is the track league...

For me, Mondays or Tuesdays would be good, although I haven't THAT much to sell...

colm_gti

Jaysus, if this goes ahead I can see me living off beans on toast for the rest of the month.

wanderer 22

Great idea, really hope it goes ahead. It's been almost a week since my last unnecessary bike purchase.

Thursday 8.30pm, at Lamb Doyles, easy to get to, loads of parking

silvo

Yep, I have loads of bits to get rid of. I would be well up for this. Monday is good for me.

C3PO

Monday sounds good to me Ryan!

lennymc

Ryan, can you add a poll?

daragh_

Thursday is Club League night for a lot of folks.

Tenzor07

Because race season needs to be funded

Can do it again - I'm sure there would be a market for one of these once per quarter!

doozerie

Is this likely to go ahead? I see that Monday is winning by quite a bit, which suits me well too.

ryan_sherlock

Yeah - we will do it - not this Monday though, way too short notice - I think the following Monday and I'll put something up on the other forums.

Ryan, if you confirm date and location I can amend the thread title

+1 will be heading for the 3 day but have a load of quality goods to part ways with :eek:

RobFowl

I'm away in France from 14th to the 31st so will prob miss it. If it was delayed i'd be delighted ! otherwise could we run a Northside one later on in the "summer".

ryan_sherlock

I had forgotten about the 3 day. I may not do it but I'll hold off one further week I think. Just going to check if the pubs mind us using their parking lot (I'm sure they would be happy too). I must catalogue all my stuff for sale too. As Mel and I have switched to 29er MTBs, we have a hell of a lot of 26er stuff!

ryan_sherlock

So, after calling around a few places with reasonable size carparks - it will be Lamb Doyles Pub carpark on Monday the 23rd of July - say, from 7pm.

Pub Website: http://www.lambdoyles.com/
Pub Location: http://www.lambdoyles.com/index.php/contact-us

The folks in Lamb Doyles are happy to help out (they have been working with the MTB folks recently - hose currently installed out the back and they are putting in a power washer!) - any trade afterwards would obviously be greatly appreciated.

Let folks know on other forums etc... I'll put together something and get it out too.

Me, I'll have a ton of 26er stuff, tires etc... bars, stems, seatposts, saddles, forks - lots.

lennymc

cr@p, ill miss it. :(ah well, ill catch the next one

Thread title amended to include details

(I resisted the temptation to state location as Lusk Doyle's gaff ...:D)

ryan_sherlock

Okay - I have a post about it but there is no more added info - spread the word! http://ryansherlock.blogspot.ie/2012/07/dublin-cyclists-car-boot-sale-july-23rd.html

^^^ Do you think you'll get in trouble for being so misleading with your stock photo there?
Sunshine?
1000+ people?
I love the enthusiasm, only 5 minutes up the road from me so I should be there.

awec

I might pop up to this, see if I can pick anything up on the cheap.

Mr. Grieves

This is a great idea, I hope to head along. Don't have anything much to sell but a few things I need that people might be selling.

Mods, would it be an idea to sticky this for a few days? Also maybe people could post what they have/need to encourage people to head along. For example, I'm on the lookout for a turbo, a race cape and maybe some road shoes if anybody's selling.

VinylJunkie

Ill come along to this myself, wouldn't mind having a look around.

ryan0380

is this still going ahead tomorrow????

CramCycle

It better be, i promised the missus to clear out a load of junk high quality but affordable cycling merchandise from under the stairs.

smacl

Looking forward to it!

I'm on the lookout for lightweight touring gear - a very light rack for a road bike, Carradice saddle bag, that sort of thing.

C3PO

I'll have some Shimano training wheels, 105 shifters, MOST carbon compact cranks and some Campag stuff for sale. Looking for some decent but reasonable wheels!

Good idea Mr. Grieves, it'll help people have some idea as to what might be on offer.

I'm looking for a set of canti's for a cx / tourer build myself should anyone have them...

awec

I'm going to call up on my way home from work. Not sure if I really need anything but will have a quick browse anyway.

Keep an eye out for the confused looking nordy.

ryan_sherlock

I have an album up with lots of the stuff I have for sale here: https://picasaweb.google.com/111642730436367015877/2012ForSale

Everything is new unless I mention otherwise.

Lots of tires, tubes, 9s MTB cassettes & clothing. Jerseys etc...

Stopped by this during a spin earlier on. Defo worthwhile and interesting looking through random cycling stuff! Probably around 10-15 cars at that stage. Had cash burning a hole in my back pocket so picked up road shoes and SPD-SL pedals for € 41.70 in total - bargain!

Very valid point - even better bargain! Said black bag did the job fine from there to Kilmainham! Now I just need to figure out if these cleats work differently to my current ones! Hope ou managed to sell a bit more of what you had!

Wanted to call up but before leaving the office I checked with the bank balance and it screamed at me not to go
