On Your Bike (Trade 33)
So I moved down to Bristol in the New Year for a new job, and for a week I crashed out at my brother's pad. And then I found a place to live, fifteen minutes out from the city, which suits me fine.
I pay my rent to John, who has an aversion to sitting around. If he's not out on his mountain bike or walking the dogs, chances are he's off surfing. Or skiing. Or snowboarding...
John liked the idea of doing a swap with me, and had his eye on the ladies racing saddle. But like many, he was struggling to come up with something worthwhile to offer me.
Then one day he said "I've got it!", and showed me a watch. Actually this watch...
Recognise it?
Yes that's right, this is the actual watch worn by Jeff Wherlock when he won the cycling Singlespeed World Championship in 2001 - I kid you not!
And look, they must have sent a guy out swimming to make sure it's water resistant...
On February 9th, we did the trade...
And more trades are happening as I type this! (arguably!)
As always, you can check out my current offerings below, and feel free to make me an offer of any number of your things for any number of mine. (Or, if you prefer, give me a shout).
I'm always interested in offers of anything, and I really do mean anything...
