That looks well overpriced IMO, I had a similar looking frame but fully restored and it sold for quite a bit less.Rob74 wrote: Tange 2 lawrencia

ooOOh, I am such a sucker for a big ol' mountain bike. A Centurion nonetheless - in Bianchi Celeste! One of the rims is unoriginal, im'a guess front, and curious lack of top tube cable braze ons, but it looks very pretty. $65 too...just to rub salt on the wound. I request that the new owner dirt drop it for mepentlandexile wrote:Old Centurion MTB. Looks in good nick.

That's the dad, right? Peter is the son who owns/owned a bike shop (much like the Bundy's in Sydney). I think they were an Adelaide mob.munga wrote:charlie giessauf. google. results.Kermit TF wrote:Whats the story on this giessauf ?

Me too, so I checked it out, the seller is just down the road.LugNut wrote:ooOOh, I am such a sucker for a big ol' mountain bike. A Centurion nonetheless - in Bianchi Celeste!

I wouldn't get excited. Pretty basic with some mismatched parts. Pressed steel fork ends. No derailleur hanger. Pressed steel hub barrels. Rust has been touched up with paint. Th rear end is out of alignment.

Now that you mention it, the model of the derailleur does look more like 'Shimano SIS' than 'Deore DX' as I had originally hoped. Obviously I was wearing my rose tinted glasses

Pity that lawrencia is too big and has anyone inquired about the paconi? I'm sorta interested but sorta not...
I went and checked out the Kens Double Double. I think he'll take less than eight but was reluctant to split and I didn't want both.
This Nishiki popped up today too

That Nishiki has been rolling around Gumtree for a few weeks, overpriced IMO, considering it has been 'gutted'.Sd wrote: Pity that lawrencia is too big and has anyone inquired about the paconi? I'm sorta interested but sorta not...

*edit* double checked and it's had a modest price drop, for a nice Champion #2 frame, that's an okay price. (for Melbourne anyway - take the price for anywhere else in Australia, double it, and you've still got a good deal )

I appreciate his enthusiasm for recycling.

This is lovely, what a great mix of parts. Looks to have had a prang at some point.
