FrankenBike is free for Buyers and Sellers alike.

Sellers – aka Vendors – it is absolutely free to set up a booth at FrankenBike BUT ALL VENDORS MUST PRE-REGISTER.

The vendor registration page is HERE.

Load-in starts @ 9am – not a minute earlier – and we all need to be packed up and off the event grounds by 4pm sharp. 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.

Buyers, there are always great deals on accessories, parts and complete, ready to ride bicycles at FrankenBike. Bringing cash for purchases is a good plan but often sellers will accept some type of digital payment such as Zelle or Venmo or credit and debit cards.

FrankenBike San Antonio Manager Mike Tamez and FrankenBike Founder Chris Gross will be your event co-host so be sure to ask for them when you arrive before you set up. If you have any questions please feel free to Contact Us or visit our About FrankenBike Swap Meets page for answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

We are looking forward to another great day in San Antonio! Until then, Stay Safe, make the most of your day and Go Ride Your Bike!
