Curious about Monroe

[100bikes]

I haven't been to the new Monroe Swap location.

Is there a general focus(modern, old, etc), or a bit of everything?

Swappers or retailers?

Anything different for (this years ) swap?
Looks like changes down the line....................................


Long trip for me, so want to make certain.

thanks,

I’d say the focus is definitely on old stuff whether it be ballooner, road, TOC etc… if you’re looking for the latest tech or e-bike you will likely be disappointed but hey it’s a classic bike show!

It’s a great show! Very large. There are people there who come to unload their stuff and make deals. I’d say come join us!!!

Well if you had attended the Ann Arbor Show & Swap in the past, the Monroe Fairgrounds is a much improved venue.
As the show information states : May 5, 2024 will be the 42nd Anniversary of the Biggest, Oldest, and the Best Antique and Classic Bicycle Show in the Nation.

It all starts at the Memory Lane Bicycle Swap in Bowling Green, Ohio Wednesday thru. Friday May 1 - 3, 2024 prior to the Monroe Swap & Show Saturday & Sunday, May 4 & 5, 2024.
Saturday, Monroe is early set-up and you can get in that day for early preview for a small fee if you don't have a Swap Space. A lot of swapping going on.
Sunday is the Swap and Show is located in the Expo Building which is where you can vote on the classic bicycles on display and the $6 cost to get into the Show includes a free door prize ticket. By taking your door prize ticket to the EXPO Building Bicycle Show Registration Table you can enter to win one of the four $50 drawings to be given away. You need to be present to win and you can only get a chance by coming to the EXPO Building Bicycle Show.
