OK, I guess the title of this 'about me' page will give away the fact that I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Buffett...although perhaps not so recognisable to people at home in the UK, as he's not really well known here. I came to know and love his music due to a 30th birthday, a blind date in Chicago, and a beautiful blonde...and therein lies a story! But for the purposes of eBay, it's an entirely different passion I'd like to share: my lifelong passion of cycling. I’ve been a cyclist all of my life (when I was born, my Dad took one look at my thighs and said "He's going to be a sprinter"...and he was right!), but since 1989 I’ve been one of those weird cyclists that only very rarely rides a bike. I stopped at the end of the ‘89 season, aged 18, through a nagging injury. During the winter when I couldn’t train I discovered girls, late nights, cigarettes, booze, late nights, girls (again!), and all of the fun things that really don’t fit in with athletic prowess. With the exception of a few abortive comebacks in the early nineties I never rode seriously again, despite many booze-fuelled late-night plans and promises once I hit my thirties.

Both my father and I love to play with the bicycles and componentry that appeal to us. Dad's foremost interest is Hetchins frames; he has owned goodness knows how many over the years, and is extremely well versed in the marque. However, his likes span from the early fifties right up to the present day, as is proved by the bewildering range of goodies to be found at my parents' homestead. For me, things are a little more limited, and I can only get truly excited by offerings from the 1980's...in my opinion the most exciting decade in cycling, and not just because it happens to be the one I raced through! As with most enthusiasts, Dad and I tend to chop and change our respective treasures fairly regularly according to the whims of the moment, and eBay has proved to be a godsend in that department. The worldwide availability of both suppliers of one's chosen fantasy item, as well as buyers of one's own surplus items has taken the hobby onto a whole new level - it's like a cyclejumble that operates 24/7! I take my eBay dealings very seriously - I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to make contact with fellow enthusiasts all over the world, love the thrill of finding something I've been looking for for years, and make every effort to describe anything Dad or I sell in the fairest possible terms. I'm very proud of my feedback rating (save for my one negative, totally unfairly left by a rotter), and would hope that I deal with any and all buyers exactly as I would hope to be dealt with myself when I'm the buyer. My experience thus far has been superb - I reckon that cyclists have extended to eBay the same community spirit that has long since thrived in clubrooms all over the country.
