Here's a two-fer I ran into a week ago at a local thrift. Bike #1 is a Centurion Accordo, in almost as-new condition. It was marked $25. Bike #2 is a Hi-Tensile Centurion mixte. It was pretty ragged but was complete. I paid the $25 for the Accordo, and they tossed in the mixte free "for parts".
The Accordo was a beautiful slate blue metallic color and a very sweet riding bike. But alas, it was too small and so was moved along to some lucky S.F. girl Monday night. The mixte needed tubes, tires, tape, a saddle, and brake levers/cables. It was filthy, but cleaned up well and has been restored to excellent riding trim. It will be moved along shortly.
