Because that URL wraps in most people e-mail readers it won't be a clickable link, but when I edited it down to: http://ebay.com/<blah> it worked fine. (I hope that still shows as a clickable link without wrapping when it gets to you)

Note you can take the first part of that link, http://ebay.com/<blah> and add any item number at the end, and it'll work.

Mostly what I chopped off to make it shorter is the "aol." and the "&category=7298", neither of which are needed to get to the page.

I hope this is useful or at least mildly interesting to someone!

Only two hours to go on the mystery bike. Someone should buy it just to see that rarest of the rare, a Campagnolo handlebar stem!
