It kind of starts adding value to the items and the pin travels would also make a good addition to the site.I’ve had a few more offers come in on email, so am trying to make a decision on which way to go, but I guess I could trade up pretty easily from a mountain bike. It would provide transport to the next trade as well!Do you have a picture of the bike so I can consider your offer some more?Where are you in CF as well?J<br />09 August 2007 14:57 <a title="Delete Comment" style="BORDER-TOP-STYLE: none; BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE: none; BORDER-LEFT-STYLE: none; BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE: none" onclick="" href="https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=787622810608234876&amp;postID=8513751196292279001"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/787622810608234876-5208447635128485663?l=onereddrawingpin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Justin Eameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01245633152634120452noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787622810608234876.post-69414885278002478382007-07-28T09:46:00.000+01:002007-08-10T19:12:51.194+01:00<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4JzoIOpNQ9s/RqsDsc722DI/AAAAAAAAAAM/fuLq9Ng3680/s1600-h/One+Red+Drawing+Pin1.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Below is a picture of a drawing pin...</span><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4JzoIOpNQ9s/RqsD-s722EI/AAAAAAAAAAU/k6vkS4Ze82w/s1600-h/OneRedPaperClip.gif"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092168179421468738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4JzoIOpNQ9s/RqsD-s722EI/AAAAAAAAAAU/k6vkS4Ze82w/s320/OneRedPaperClip.gif" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">A red drawing pin!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The red drawing pin is my first trade.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I've thought long and hard about what my first trade could be, and this is it.
