Yep, I don't think that's OTT for the Centurion. Prices can only steadily climb, at a guess. Slowly, maybe, but still up.drubie wrote:I'm starting to think a $150 shogun or centurion is good buying, even the entry level ones like the Selectra are good riding and take modern parts, what's not to like?
It's weird though, it does seem to fluctuate month to month. Only takes a few extra shed drag-outs, and the guys on BNA Retro to be busy on domestic chores ---> temporary price drop.

Is it so hard to take a bike outside/to a bigger area, take three steps backward, and take a photo? Rather buy from one good side on shot than half a dozen details!Dan wrote:...a tidy Nishiki
