olGimpy, sounds like it'll be a great bike. We want pictures, and the ride report.

Very similar idea. Believe it or not, I think this Centurion is even a little nicer frame that that nice Motobecane! I really like the way the moustache bars look on that bike, but I dont' think I will use them. I will probably go with a dirt drop stem and an oldschool semi-flat ATB bar, or even with a fully upright bar like the Nitto Dove. But yeah, that bike is very similar to what I will prolly do. I'm really happy about this one. Such an unusual bike. I rode it just a little today and it's real nice. The randoneur bars that are on it kinda make it a little sketchy though. Those come off this week. I'll prolly get it finished this week, with the exception of the rear rack and basket.

This must be my 100th build by now, but I think it will be one of the coolest.

Ok, well, let's see a picture of it already!

Well. The Motobecane is not a terrific frame nor made of the best steel. But it's a sweet ride and a very puhrty bike.

Let's see the Centurion already

Sorry no pic yet. I'm almost done with the bike, and bought a digicam online last night. The kid broke the other camera.

The bike is sweet. It is a permanent part of the stable.

What other cool old bikes have you ladies got? I have:

4 lugged Splined Triple Butted Miyata Forerunners, 1 built as a killer cyclocross, the other 3 frames in the closet waiting......

1 lugged STB Team Miyata road frame, was my uncle's prior to his passing
1 lugged STBTeam Miyata Mountain bike, ditto
1 lugged Peugeot Canyon Express ATB with all high end 1985 parts
1 lugged Peugeot City Express ATB in a small size, soon to be finished
1 fully tricked out BMX/ATB/Road rigged lugged TREK 870 from 1988. So rad that it's unreal. I'm so good!!! hahaha
1 Super sweet large Centurion Mixte single speed set up for grocery getting and cruising
1 Robinson Pro BMX 20" that my little boy rides
1 Specialized BMX that my older boy rides
1 more Robinson in the garage

I give away bikes alot to get people/friends riding, trade some, sell some on craigslist, donate some to our local bike co-op youth program. Bikes are beautiful. This is the whole list now, after closing down my home based side job bike shop after getting my stuff back together post divorce. I had up to 40 at one time when I needed a second income source. She and I get along OK, now,.... She didn't like bikes, skateboarding, concerts, art museums, good restaurants, my gourmet cooking, uh, or anything else about me...hehehe, oh well, I like me.
