Does it have to be a cargo bike?



That's a Rossin Ghibli disguised as an "American Classic" on the rack of that Trek. I rode about ten miles to look at it, with cash in my pocket. It had been up on CL for 27 days, with no interest. Busy, and in an obviously vain attempt to curb my addiction, I'd eschewed perusing CL. I was not at all sure it was anything from the CL post. I was looking for a new beater bike to replace that Trek and its aluminum fork which had torn up my shoulder. I did see some fluting in the photo, and the Ergo brifters, and the "Campagnolo Equipped" sticker, but I was not expecting a Ghibli. I don't even know if the owner knew it was a Rossin. In an effort to stem my acquisition of bicycles, I had made a rule that I had to pick up the bike myself, without the use of a motorized vehicle. I did not really feel the ten mile ride home.
