Definitely an interesting conglomeration. DuraAce, Gran Compe, Record cranks, older high flange Campy hubs, Kalloy seatpost...then a quick release pinch bolt to boot!

Not sure about this head badge, but I'm sure someone knows why it says Blue Bird.

Pretty Simoncini cross bike. If it had the original fork I don’t know if I could resist.

Amazing how little Centurions often sell for, usually seen between $100 and $200 and great bike for the prices

$100 It appears a bit "patina-ed" but solid. Leather saddle is possibly salvageable. Only the one photo in the listing, plus an incorrect serial number as a bonus!

It’s a cool bike for sure, but based on what I have read (a BF member has a thread about one) the stay clearance is limited to about a 30mm tire. So not quite the perfect all-rounder I would be going for. And that fork would bug me.

I have one C+V that came to me with a carbon fork as there was no fork for the frame only when it came to him so no choice for me as I wanted the frame and it came with a fantastic new paint job that the fork was part of. Traded a way too small actual 10th anniversary for this tribute version.

Cue the naysayer's.

This is really just a mock up and a poor angle so looks a bit odd.

But this for me was too good to pass up, it is a Merckx frame that came from a forgotten stash somewhere albeit newer that came with no fork so this ones paint job only was worth the trade.
It was vetted by CyclesMakaron as well so I was good with it.
It looks fantastic in person and is a top notch paint job.
I probably should have tried to keep the flat crown fork from the small one but have one now that I may have chromed so it could be used on any Merckx that I happen upon.

Here's the small one.
