Vendors have the option of setting up inside, outside or both.

SETTING UP INSIDE: There is room for about 20 vendors to set up inside with 1 table for parts and gear and up to 4-5 bikes each. Please bring your own table and chairs. Sorry, no pets or tents inside the Tap Room.

DUAL BOOTHS: Consider setting up 2 booths. One smaller booth inside and a larger booth outside.

SETTING UP OUTSIDE: If you are setting up outside feel free to bring as many bicycles, parts, accessories and gear as you would like as there is plenty of room for the lot of us. Just take a break every 20 minutes or so to go inside and cool off.

We are setting up on the west side of the Tap Room, from the front bay door to the back area just below the purple and white art you can see hanging from the ceiling.

Even though you will have registered your intent to set up a booth, and therefore we will be expecting you, DO NOT SET UP UNTIL YOU CHECK IN with an official of the event. No Exceptions.

Chris is the event organizer for FrankenBike Austin so be sure to ask for him when you arrive prior to setting up.

Load-in starts @ 9am and we all need to be packed up and off the event grounds by 4pm. Note that Vendors/Seller do not have to arrive at 9am to set up. You may set up a booth at anytime prior to the end of the event.

Ruta Maya Coffee

We are happy to announce that Ruta Maya Coffee will be onsite providing coffee for event goers and vendors alike at 2022 most all FrankenBike Austin events. Ruta Maya Coffee Company was founded in 1990 in Austin, Texas on a simple premise — to create a marketplace of superior products produced in Latin American countries and to return to the producers of those products a fair portion of profits generated. 🙂

Junior’s Beer and Wine

Junior’s Beer and Wine first opened for business in 1982 and has always been locally owned and operated. Its a funky little store with a mess of great beer, just off the drag and across the street from Breed & Co. Tiffany and Jason took over the store in September of 2011 and have been operating it everyday since. We welcome any beer requests you may have – if you don’t see it on our shelves let us know and if its distributed in Texas we’ll get it here. 512-222-7577.

Trudy’s

Trudy’s has long been a Tex-Mex favorite of Austin Local’s and visitors alike. From their World Famous Martini’s to their Stuffed Avocado’s, Trudy’s has something for everyone. And with four area locations, a bike ride to Trudy’s will be quicker than if you rode in a car… 🙂

We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces!

Cheers!
