On top of buying & trading, Swoon Cycles offers consignment on very high end bikes/parts in excellent to NOS shape. I accept top shelf road, mountain, touring, and track bikes and components. Please send me some photos and inventory lists of what you hope to sell. I accept items both shipped or brought to the shop (by appointment only!) in Portland, Oregon,
Our consignment program is best suited to more expensive items. Bikes over $1,500 and parts over $100.
