I love the look of that bike. A new one will set you back $1200, so $375 seems like a pretty good deal.

It is too small for me - otherwise I'd be sorely tempted.

Yep - the $375 is what it cost me all together, got a really good deal on a different touring bike that fits me better so this one's got to go. Thought about keeping the fenders and rack but they seem to fit this bike well so I'd rather just sell as a package.

I have been trying to find the funds to make an offer... Oye! Love it!

Just an update - bike is sold (good lord, seems to be a real touring bike deficit in this town), bags are going but at least one of each still available. If you are on the market for an early 80's beater touring bike, I have a very bizarre old Centurion (by bizarre, I mean that it can hold FOUR water bottle cages, and the components are clearly the product of someone's random parts bin and maybe some psychedelic drugs) then you are in luck, as I have one that I will sell for $125, or maybe less.

Where does one mount a 4th water bottle cage?

only two installed right now, but you can see more bosses further up the downtube - there are also water bottle bosses on the bottom of the downtube. Strange.

i max want to see this in real life / maybe buy this from you!

If there is a Carradice available, I am in.

I bought this today and researched it a bit. It came with two bottle cage bosses. the other two were added on. Oh, and it's a Centurion Pro Tour, made of Tange 1. It's going to be sweet once i build it up with some better wheels and deraileurs. need to clean it too. 


Thanks Alex!
