Ok today i picked this up from the trash heap It would appear to be a centurian super lemond
As you can clearly see it is in very bad shape. seeing a great old bike treated this way makes me want to cry and then try to fix it!

According to the database, it would have to be a 1984 model, however it is not in the 1984 sales brochure on sheldon brown's site.


the rear derailer was removed and replaced sometime before it was thrown away this is surely the replacement. Looks to be one from an x-mart mtn bike or something. beyond that and the saddle all parts are there just in need of cleaning and repair.





Please help me id this bike more positively this will help me to decide wheather to try to find period correct perts to repair it with or not. interestingly enough I was coming back from delivering my restored GT outpost for loan to a needful soul and was real bummed thinking i will not get it back. now i find my next project for free.
