As a matter of fact, there are several companies here that deliver that product by bicycle. As with many other types of delivery, bicycle is the best way here in Manhattan.

Steel-framed Cannondale
This guy has a steel-framed Cannondale for sale. I bet he doesn't realize what a rare bike he has.

Cute, but rather ambitious with the pricing.
It is Italian, after all!

Sekine at Flagstaff Goowill
Very ambitious pricing of $199
I asked why so high? and was told it was made in Canada and it's rare.....
It did have the cool stamped dork disc but I was stunned by the price.
PS that was Goodwill not goowill - just can't seem to correct

Last Wednesday, I packed up the cargo bike and headed off to pick up a glass top table at St. Vincent's for $80 that I was going to fix up as a picnic table for my mother (who had a tree fall on her last table).
Except that I had misread the tag: $799.99
And, off the sale rotation. Needless to say, I expect to be seeing that table at the store for quite some time.

Clifford K - I wouldn't have took it at $50, let alone 100. I was just stunned by the asking price of $199. Now the Steve Bauer with full 600 drive train that was at the Las Vegas goodwill and sold for $32.10, that I would have bought ....

Perhaps this would have been better suited for the Craigslist Personals.
