I don't consider myself an expert, but my first thought is, "That's not a Rossin.":

I'm waiting for the Numbskull who tries to palm off the frame tubing as being "recycled, eco-friendly Reynolds aluminum."

Uhhhh? This is the guy who buys bikes at my local flea market, and then tries to get ridiculous prices for them. It was $40 at the flea market, and worth about half that for condition imho.,,,,BD
I believe it's the same guy bought a Cannondale road bike for $250, possibly a fair enough price. He dumps it on ebay for $600 BIN. Why he would have bought this one is beyond me?

Somebody tell me if this is hyperbole or not, down to the 1020 frame and the Miami Dade Community College sticker adorning the seattube.

This Trek has "never been crashed or wrecked" but the seller acknowledges the fork is bent, which, of course, doesn't affect the handling. Hmm.
