Photos of East Hill's bikes

[East Hill]

My bikes:

The 1980 World 'Sports' ladies model--I know, it's facing the wrong way.

The 1980 Centurion LeMans mixte:

The 1987 Centurion Ironman Dave Scott Expert

The 1987 Nishiki Prestige

A not very good photo of the 1977 Nishiki Pro

I will have to take an updated photo of the Pro once I have finished getting it restored.

I just realized that I do not have a photo of the Dolce, but I think that I have overloaded all of you with photos as it is.

Thanks for sharing your photos. I can see that you are not a tall person!

that Mixte is an unusual looking bike!

Hey cool! I used to have the exact The Centurion Ironman Dave Scott Expert bike you have -- in peach to boot!! It was a lovely bike and fit me well with it's small front (Terry-style) wheel, but the double killed me. I finally ended up selling it for $100. Was sad to see it go, but I just couldn't ride it up hills. I did do a Bike Vermont tour with it, but walked a lot!

Thanks for sharing your vintage bike photos!!

I just *love* your bikes. Please post the Dolce pic too! I too am a fan / collector of small front wheeled bikes although mine are of a more recent vintage. I also had a lovely mixte like yours that I now regret getting rid of. My bikes are steel and ti, I really prefer bikes made of metal vs plastic.

What's the crankset on the Nishiki Pro? Custom drilling on the spider?

Well, it looks like her stems are about 5cm (like mine) so she must not have a very long reach.

Bestill my beating heart....more lovely vintage steel! Nice pics, nice bikes!

Well, when I get more organized I will post separate photos of the Dolce, because otherwise I think this thread would get too large, you know?

But just as an update, I have finally got the Nishiki's tubulars on the rims. They aren't glued on yet, they are just stretching.

I'm glad to hear that everyone enjoyed the photos, we need more older steel bikes here!

DebW, the crankset is Avocet. It's a 52/42, but drilled and tapped for a third ring. I believe the rear freewheel is Sun Tour. I haven't sat down and counted the teeth yet, but the largest cog appears to be rusty steel, the next two are some kind of bronze? and the smallest two are non-rusted steel! I do know it's a two spline doohickey...
