From the pic, I can make out the model name on the toptube - Prestige.

guy had tons of emails as one might suspect, but i sent him my co-op webpage and said it was for that. which they are.. because they are both too small for me! It was dark on pick up and I have not even had time to load them out of the car, but they both look pretty clean- lightly used but probably 10 years since being on the road.

I might outfit them as co-op loaner bikes -

This is the second bargain-basement Cinelli listed by some prankster in the last two weeks. I did not contact the seller, as I did with the last one...

The parts are original including the seat, except for the reproduction rear Schwinn Slik tire and bow pedals. The first $1,500 cash takes it. Price is firm! No Less!

Not sure if I've outed this Schwinn Volare here before, but the seller is starting to get the price down into a more reasonable range. I think he started around $1000. Now he's asking $800.

It seems complete, though perhaps it's mostly apart. Can't tell from the photos. Here's a shot of the frame, fork, and wheels (why, oh, why, do I always get a broken image icon when posting images since the "upgrade"?):

This guy has been trying to sell it for at least a year. He finally seems to have broken down and put it together. Previously, I don't think he was selling it with wheels.

If that guy were a bit taller, you and I would be figuring out how to finance a major buy. :)

Seems worth it.

I sold one on eBay last year, frame only and without paint for about that price.

It was a smaller frame, and there's certainly less of a market for 64cm frames. But still.

what a lovely story, congratulations on the win for the community :)

A couple of this seller's listings have been posted here. His current listings are ending in a few hours. Check out this refinished Paramount. I think it's gorgeous. Too bad it's too small for me.

Seriously! My wife doesn't know it, but 2 cm has saved us a lot of $ haha!

AustinFitz 02-21-17 10:39 AM

It absolutely KILLS me that I can't afford this right now as it is pretty much my dream bike, and it looks like my size :(. I really can't though, so I figured I'd pass it on to one of the many Centurion fans here.

I believe this is a Pro Tour for $300 shipped!!!

Here's a Motobecane Champion Team that's been outed here before. Price has dropped significantly since then. From personal experience in building one of these, I doubt you'll see one a whole lot cheaper than this. Shipping is reasonable as well. Not mine, no affiliation, etc.

Doesn't strike me as a very exciting project (Team USA with eyelets and kickstand?), but it might float someone's boat:
