I'd have never thought you'd be so excited about that category of bicycles!

Let's face it Robbie: you really lust for a Sun Drifter.

They already make them - sort of - in another place, different era, same dimension. Not bad for a brand named after a novel about Romans (or so the story goes...).

Might just be a coincidence.

They might just use those two categories to (re?)enter the market and then add other bike lines later.

You gonna eat that?
Might have been "check a box" type categories and those two covered all bicycles or something.

It would be great to see a modern take on the Centurion brand, but we all know how these things work. The vintage Centurion brand that RobbieT’s has single-handedly increased the used bike market value of, to the chagrin of the rest of us, is not this start-up. However, I’ve noticed a surprisingly large number of fresh and interesting new boutique bike companies putting forth retro-steel bikes. I recently referenced Tim Neenan starting a new company reintroducing the Specialized Sequoia and Expedition.

There seems to be something going on here. Small, quality bike designers seem to be popping up all over the place. Who says American creativity and workmanship is dead? Not me.

All it takes is one trip to NAHBS, and it's easy to see how one could get drawn into it.
I told Curtis Dobbins of Cycles Margeurite that "one day, I'll sell all my bikes, and you can make me a frame."
He laughed.
