EBAY COMES UP TRUMPS AGAIN

You have to love eBay. Having upgraded the pedals on my two bikes to Look Keos on my Bianchi and Outland Keos on my Tifosi, I no longer had need for my lovely, but slightly battered old school Look Deltas.

I was going to toss them in the back of my bike bits cupboard, but hey we all like to recycle and get a bit of cash in the process. Most things sell on eBay, and especially cycling kit. Even so, with these pedals I would surely be pushing my luck?

Not so; there was plenty of interest all week, and OK they only made me £10, but seeing as I'd paid £19 for my new Outland pedals I was pretty delighted with that.

I still struggle to get my head around eBay mind - I always seem able to pick up a bargain whilst at the same time selling my unwanted kit for much more than I ever expect. Sometime I even sell kit for more than I paid for it in the first place?!

I'm off to raid the cupboard for more old bits. I have to fund my winter wardrobe somehow - that Rapha stuff don't come cheap...
