In person, if it REALLY is pristine, I could see $400, but not $500, but of course, YMMV.
+1. I really do like this bike but I don't know that I place the value on these Ironmans that many forum members seem to.
For $450, there's a 58cm full Campy Bob Jackson on Houston CL right now. As nice as this Centurion is, I don't see it having this level of pedigree.
Not to mention, a zoom in on the Centurion's bottom bracket show what appears to be a surprising amount of rust. Debating whether to go see in person.
