Yeah I'm not sure I like them either. I think a compact dropbar might be in my future since I've never tried one of those. finding them in vintage sizes is tough though.

^he said wheels, not tires...
As to the vintage Trek, not hot in my vote. Nice try but somehow it doesn't all work as well as the Centurion.
Seat post is strange, photo is taken too low, bottle cages are clunky looking, bars are not attractively shaped, sorry it's a Not for me.

Sweet wheels. Not a huge fan of white bikes, and specifically not of white bartape, especially when it doesn't match the color of the bike. So I'd vote Not on this one, sorry.

Except the tape doesn't look dirty, it's just a different color. And that bugs me, sorry. But I'm the guy with a colorful bike and black bartape so what do I know?
