FrankenBike Austin
Free monthly bike swap meet where Austin cyclists buy, sell, and trade bikes and parts at rotating venues around the city — no admission fee.
The vibe
Bike flea market, no cash register drama
Running since 2005, FrankenBike is exactly what it sounds like: a bike swap meet where anyone can show up and buy, sell, or trade bikes, parts, and accessories. No admission fee for shoppers, and vendors just need to register ahead of time. The venue changes every time, hopping between shops, bars, and community spaces around Austin.
It’s the place to find a cheap commuter, unload the frame that’s been leaning in your garage for years, or just dig through a table of parts you didn’t know you needed. Cash is king but plenty of vendors will negotiate a trade.
