What Would One Do Without Ebay?

Hotel San Jose Bibs & Jersey Hotel Hotel San Jose Polo Shirt

Back in my early days of cycling, the only places to buy things were the local bike shops and a couple of mail order catalogs. Today, mail order catalogs are a distant memory and visits to a bike shop are fewer than visits to the dentist. Online shops, Ebay, Craigslist and the For Sale sections of forums have for many years not just been my primary source for anything cycling related, but they’re more than often a real treasure trove. Last November, I purchased a “new with tags” Hotel San Jose team jersey on Ebay. The only thing missing at the time were matching shorts, so I dropped a feed into my desktop reeder to keep an eye on Hotel San Jose team clothing. Sure enough, the other day a bunch of items were put up and I grabbed myself a few more goodies. It’s great to be a global consumer in a global economy! Special thanks to simoncini78, full.carbon and theproscloset for selling the above pictured items.
