Cilo Challenger from secondhand shop
Hi guys, I posted several things for my Nishiki bike. It was about 30 years old model and I bought it from flea market 200 CHF. At first, it looks nice and runs very well, but now, I think it just has gone. The rear wheel had no rim tapes so I bought it, I changed grip tapes, maintananced(is the spell right?) brakes and gears, bought locks... Now the amount of I've spent is above CHF 300.
Then, I just saw the Cilo Challenger bike from secondhand shop. It has Shimano RX100 parts, with some kind of STI shift system, I mean breakes and gears come together. I think it's in quiet good condition.
I dunno about the brand and the model but they say it's the Swiss brand, for the parts, I dunno very well but I know Shimano, of course. I'm just wondering about for now, where is RX100's position. Somewhere between Tiagra and Sora? Guys, please let me know about this brand and parts.
P.S. It was CHF 299, and it seems it doesn't need any serious work, like my ex-bike. Damn! It has flat tire again..

Don't know what the Challenger is, but bought a 70s Cilo frame years ago because my neighbor had one and loved it. Chrome lugs and silver, its in my pile to restore someday...

My brother found a Cilo a while back. Nice bike.
Here's a thread that has some photos of a Challenger frame.
Those CHF's are Swiss Francs, so the Cilo that the OP is looking at would be home grown. Converts to about US$260.
