Anyone wanna do a bike swap? [Like a Demo]

I have a Trek 8000 and would love to try your Enduro.

Sounds cool, but I am looking to demo bikes equivalent in value.

Yeety, I have a 1999 Trek 7000, maybe someday we could swap. Provided yours is in good shape like mine.

Is this like swapping girlfriends for the night? Not sure I like the idea. Lol

You never specified what Enduro you have. Or more importantly, what size.

I’ll swap a 1987 Huffy for the Enduro. I promise I’ll show up for the re-swap at the end of the day.

I have a Specialized Enduro, and I am curious how other bikes ride. Would anyone in the Bay Area be interested in doing a swap for a ride, to see how each others bike ride?

Gotta provide more info. What size? What kinda bike are you looking for? What year, what build and what's the approximate value since you're looking for an even exchange. And where are you located?

I have an ex wife I will swap. In fact, you can just borrow her, no collateral needed.

We like to meet up at a trail head. Someone brings a big bowl, everyone puts a hand grip in there. You get the idea...

Measurements or pics
Agreement on protective measures.
Agreement on limits.
I am assuming a full wash before swapping.
I've never done this kind of thing, so just brainstorming here.
Everyone has their favorite lube for the moving parts, so talk about it beforehand.
.
As for my Trek 7000, it's old and not limber, so no rowdy stuff!

I was trying to find a link to the "fully rigid" thread but it appears to have disappeared.

Interesting, but your bike is too small. I’m looking for an S4. I’m 6’1”. I’m may just head to the Specialized experience store. I have A Pivot Switchblade and SB150 both in large.

I hear if you show up at the bike swap party with two bikes you earn instant street cred.

Was thinking of swapping, but went in the garage and already couldn’t figure out what to ride.

Garage is a disaster, need a day to clean and reorganize.
