That seller has some other awesome finds too, three Shimano 600 Aero cranksets w/ pedals and clips are going for 102.50 with 1 1/2 days left. Wish I had the money/need.

No you don't. I have the Dura Ace cranks and they're useless unless you have the right slotted cleats for the pedals. I also read that the bearings in these pedals are subject to more wear, but that could be BS considering how oversized they are.

Awesome find if you're willing to dish out the bucks.

I'd get the centurion, but why are you looking at two bikes that are so different in size?

i know the head tubes are different lengths but ive read tob tubes are more imporant, yes they are different. Right now im just looking at bikes in general that may fit.
if youve seen my thread i am in dire need of a bike asap.
ive emailed them on sizes so. but i def need help from those of you who know more about bikes than i.

i can't believe i am about to say this but...do you know your size for sure & can you afford to wait a week for a mail order bike to arrive? if so, & minimum outlay is most important to you, then look at the windsors over a kilo as you mentioned in your other thread.
good luck...

yes infact i have, top tube on the schwinn was to short, my ubber body felt cramped. i delt because it is what i had and didnt want to pan out for like a 120 nitto stem or longer. looking at the contender from state and the new kilo tt.
but if i could pickup a bike asap that fit, ill roll on it even if its a roadie.
tbh im kind of throwing clist adds here because they look like they "may fit". sorry dont wanna spam **** but yes kind of a headless chicken.
just wanted low downs on the bike before i even looked at, test road ect. so im not even wasting time on a bike that isnt worth buying.
