Dear Monson Pilgrims
This will be my first time at the swap as well. I will be bringing a lot of early 80's stuff (Campy, Cinelli, 3T) which is the result of my spending all my Saturday afternoons at Branford Bike during that time! I also have some interesting frames and will bring a PX-10 if I can find the pedals!

I have only a couple of items available for trade; is it necessary to have a table for swapping activities? Also, I assume that there will be cash for goods exchanges going on along with the swapping. Am I correct on this?
This will be my first swap so any guidance is appreciated. I hope to meet some of you there. And if the atmosphere is anything like the Larz Anderson show it should be a great time.
