Finally getting some era specific parts for it this week (grad gift from the rents)

LOL. Mine didn't have one, but oh well. Still NOS so no dings or rust or anything.

Damn where did you find that ?

it's a centurion ironman dave scott - it's got horizontal dropouts and it's smaller and less dented than my current frame... i'd probably paint it.

buy it and send it to me

Yes, definitely. $50 is a good deal on that bike; tange frame, shimano 105 or 600 group - very solid ride that regularly sells in the $100-$200 range. That is one of the nicer paint schemes in that model; mine is bright pink and yellow.

There is an extensive article on Centurion here, as well as a lot of discussion in the C&V forum.

Certainly a step up from my IRO:

Villin Cycleworks

Oo La La, how do I get one made for me....

really, that is nice, I dare say as nice as the dead one...

$50 is a steal. I say keep it geared. Those old Centurion frames
typically have solid 105 or 600 components which will last forever,
and they usually weigh around twenty pounds fully outfitted. I have
a Lemans that I adore.

That's the best bike I've seen on here in ages. I ****ing love it.
it. Is that maker on the web? Is there someplace I could see
his other frames? Also, what grips are those?

My free bike turned single speed for now

upgrades to come inculding new wheels, handle bars and getting the gearing just right

That thing is sweet. Is that the Thomas Center?

heh, c-bus! i'm keeping my eyes open.

Go for it Charlie. I picked up my Ironman Master for $200. It was in nearly perfect shape granted, but well worth it. What size is that?

Uh, if you're riding single speed, you still need the rear brake. Unless of course you don't mind eating a fair chunk of road next time you need to make an emergency stop. Look after yourself!

Not to mention that riding with just one brake lever is pretty uncomfortable.

yeah it is certainly a work in progress. It will be fixed once I get the new wheels.

A sudden change of bars:

waldner, that master kills. the photos are nice, too.

If you lower the stem a 1/2 inch and tilt the bars up just a bit.......it will be more symetrical.




thats just my 2cents....do as you wish. It is a beutiful whip.

Why lower the stem? I love that frame, it always seems to look good.

yeah, that master is cool. the setup looks fine.

Thank you guys! The current saddle to bar drop is about all that I can handdle for the moment. Switching from risers to drops was a suprisingly pleasant experience though. I finally got the feeling of riding a track bike, not just a fixed gear.
