I have new neighbor who still has boxes un-opened in his garage, but I saw a bike sitting in the corner. Looks to be a 86-87 Centurian Lemans - I only got a quick look - Shimano Light Action Der, Tange #2 tubing sticker, a Sugino seatpost with the fluted measurement running up the side. I made some comment about nice bike - he retorted about that piece of junk. It yours if you want it. Well guys I need a another bike project like a hole in the head so I told him keep it it's a nice bike and I'll help you fix it up. Now another phone call - please pick up the bike we need to get rid of it.

Oh well must be destiny a free bike - so here is my addiction issues - how do I resist sinking ton of money into the bike and making it like new or even better. I just can't keep it to new cables, brake pads, and elbow grease.


I can't be the only one with these issues.

Deep breath. "I do not need to own every junky bike I see". Deep breath.

Then get it anyway.

Too big for me then! Dang! I'm still working on a nice little mixte in Wedgwood...seller finally answered after having the ad posted for five days that she'd 'been out of town'...sigh...why put up the ad, then?

It could be smaller the gentleman is 5'8 ish - the mixte sound very nice. I always thought you were in England, but you are in my own backyard!!

I will always be a Lanky Lass, even if I live in the Pacific Northwest .
