Yeah, that’s a nice one. You might have a little trouble finding Suzzi decals if that’s a concern.
I had seen a Suzzi a couple years ago but couldn’t find the decals.

Some very tall dude is selling some good steel at ridiculous premium prices, including both a 1983 and a 1984 Centurion Turbo.

The pedant in me asks, "What do you consider to be a tall human?" A group of roughly 55cm frames, to me as a 6'5" giraffe, says that the owner is of average stature. Some consider 60cm frames indicative of a tall rider, and I will silently say, "Keep adding to that." Then I meet some skyscraper of a man or a 73cm frame (there's a Co-Motion frameset at a LBS that's that tall) and think to myself, "I am an ant."

I mean, I started with a 52cm frame because it was given to me and I knew no better. And I still know guys close to or at my height that ride frames as tall or a few cm taller (with longer reach!), frames that large and that long that I go "nope!" It's all over the map, though I still contend there are still very general guidelines.

I'm 5'4", riding an 18" mtn. bike, so most people are tall to me, though I may have misstated in my original post; there was a rash of 60 cm bikes earlier, and I probably mixed them up. There's a nice Nashbar tourer (that's probably still too short) if you're interested.

I have found that 6'5" is about the limit for most off the shelf frames as far as decent accommodation. I feel bad for those taller (for multiple practical reasons), but I do try to build cool super tall frames to sell (with modernized brakes and componentry, that look good), and those guys are almost always pumped about it.

^^^ Wow does that look like an awful tandem design. I wouldn't give you $100, novelty notwithstanding.

Big bad Batavus (Tour de L'Europe). $125 and a 25" frame. Bold and gold...er, copper.
Had one of these pop up in ATL a month ago for $70. Still up, too. Compared a lot of other vintage steel Batavus made, it's a bit low-end looking to me, minus the styling on the head lugs. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/b...995794596.html

Still can't figure out how to post images from the link, but this Centurion LeMans showed up in my FB marketplace listings. It's pretty rough but only $20...

For the Willamette Valley crowd, FB Market place Nashbar touring bike maybe built by GT? FWIW the poster did indicate that he had the seat post and saddle
