Thanks shoota, but this is a keeper. I've had some great finds over the years but this wall art had me grinning all the way back to my car. Even my oldest son who has put many miles on Nike running shoes thought it was pretty cool. Cheers, Kevin

I had a grey '88 that I got as a stripped frameset from the Peugeot warehouse in NJ.

I picked up this '90 Marin Eldridge Grade a couple days ago. I gave it a complete overhaul. It was missing tires, a front wheel and had mismatched cranks. I replaced those parts with parts bin parts. I have a total of $25 invested in it.

80's Schwinn Centurion????
I found this in my local classifieds 
It's a very nice looking bike, but I'm a little confused would this be considered a hybrid or was it easier to find the schwinn decals

@Gashepherd Is it a heavily photoshopped image of what looks to be a pretty decent Centurion? My guess is in the real world the real decals are still on the stolen bike. Which sounds ridiculous actually, but there it is.
It's also a 70s bike, not 80s.
@curbtender That Peugeot is pretty sweet! Nice find there.

I'm sure that they are real pictures, he says it's got new paint and decals, the whole ad he's convinced it's a schwinn.
I think that it's a really confused centurion

It looks to be, perhaps, a Super Lemans. Notice, though, that the rear triangle is chromed but the fork doesn't appear to be.
This one should have had decals that read 'pass,' because it has it written all over it.
