^^^^both very nice bikes^^^for a great deal.

While shoveling a truck load of fine shale, to level out the driveway at my lake cottage, my wife gives me a shout - phone. I ran to the cottage, said hello and, after a moment or two, said I will be right there.

I drove into the city, went to the place and brought this little Colnago home for a very good price. I don't want the bicycle, but the Campy high flange hubs, laced with butted staniless steel spokes, to Ambrosia Super Elite rims, coupled with the Campy record BB, did catch my attention, as did the Cinelli Criterium handlebars....

Nice bikes. These Miele's are starting to get my attention (thanks to Bike Forums).
I believe I see an Ishiwata sticker on that Trek and the color is, I think, "ice blue". Could be a 1980 412. In 1981 they started color wrapping the "Trek" on the seat tube.

It has been a pretty productive weekend so far. Last night I got a '91 Nishiki Colorado Mountain Bike. Today I got two '87 Trek 330 road bikes. I also got 8 new tires and a like new pair of bike shoes. I dropped $75 for everything.

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...psdollt7h8.jpg Picked this 74 up last Monday. 1 owner bike.

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/...psbla7ntgx.jpg cleaning up nice. Took it out for a 18 mile shakedown today and this bike felt great. Could be the upswept bars with the comphy foam.

Very nice! :)

Ya, I'm likin'it, too. Digging those bars and headlight..:thumb:

I picked up this nice 1986 Diamond Back Ascent. Not a spec of rust on the frame. Looks to be mostly original, I think the Handlebars and Stem have been changed. and the Rack is an old Vetta rack. she rides like shes new!

Not my greatest find, but I like it. I hope it cleans up nice, it actually rides pretty nice as is.

Love those old centurion headbadges

Go barcons. Love the brown, very distinguished looking.

I have a fondness for those colors that you don't see anymore, and that brown is one of them. Lovely, classy and very much a color that chimes back to the early seventies.

True, I have a Dawes that is the deep yellow that they used but I would have welcomed it just the same if it was their deep brown colour.

Another great find for you !

I like it too.

Have you had a chance to check the date codes on any components to get an idea of what year the Centurion is from?

Not yet, I'm going to take it apart today.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=477242I picked up a 87 Raleigh Technium USA 420 at the freebie barn. I'm not sure how it stacks up against the other 400 series, I can't seem to find much info on the 420's

I have the same model and year, but in red. Wish it was chrome though! What's the width on those tires?

Clang,

They are 2.1 . Continental Town and Country 26x2.1

Found a Park Pre with a cycle morph attachment for $120 then added a kent bike tag along for another $15

^ Interesting combo. Makes me wish my daughters were 12 and 8 again :)

Found a pair of early 90's Sidi Genius 2 for $5. My size and in OK shape.

Anyone know where I can get the Look cleat plates? It has the SPD plates in there.

You sure you don't just take out the three flat head socket screws holding the spd plate in and attach the look cleat to the same three holes you just liberated by removing the bolts?

I.e. doesn't the spd plate bolt up to the look mounting holes? Sure looks like it does.

You'd think it would work that way, but without the plate, the cleats are unsupported. The holes do line up.

Here's a pic of what the Look plates:
