Madison will continue to be the best swap in the Midwest, IMO. Just bring your woolies....
It usually occurs around the end of January. Temperatures are typically 0 to -15 F! One of my (very tough Rubbermaid) plastic totes shattered last year when dropped onto the ground by a helper on the way in to the show!

I'm really bummed to hear the Chicago event is off! That was my first foray into the old-parts world, and I've been looking forward to another one since!
There was also a swap in Madison last winter. Anyone know if that'll be on?

I'm interested in an alternative. I shared space last year and sold probably one quarter what I would normally sell at the San Diego Velodrome swap meet. I was disappointed. There were lots of buyers but most them were not serious cyclists. Many didn't know what a sewup or tubular was -- it was kind of crazy.
