Love them all! Especially the chrome forks. I would pass out if I found a bike around here with ANYTHING Campy on it.
Here's my lugged steel beauty, taking me for a ride in Vermont. Not a great picture, but I liked the place!

Those are quite nice! I especially love the first one. You let me know when you are feeling too cramped on it.
Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

This isn't a recent picture but she does look extra cute in her panniers. She has pink bar tape now and I just ordered some new Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tires that have white sidewalls. I'll post pics when we get those. Should be hotness.
Funny how many Centurions have come out of the woodwork. My girl was and is still a giant work in progress that used to be a Diamondback Centurion. I guess they were one on the same like Plymouth/Dodge."True, but if you throw your panties into the middle of the peloton, someone's likely to get hurt."

What lovely bikes! This thread reminds me that today was the first time I saw (or maybe just the first time I noticed) someone riding a Surly. It made me want some kind of rad steel bike... not that I don't love my aluminum hybrid.

I just want to say how much I'm enjoying reading these boards. I have no idea what most of you are talking about, but I'm soaking in the language and learning every day.
Aren't steel bikes heavy? I'm guessing they're sturdy for commuting, though. I love the green tires on the pink and black bike, and the other bikes are really nice, too. The blue one is pretty.
What does "lugged" mean? I'm guessing it's something to do with the wheel attachments - a lugnut?
Thanks!

The lugs are the curvy parts that hold the various tubes together. Sometimes they're beautiful and sometimes they're plain.
My Centurion is not a heavy bike, maybe 5 lbs heavier than my aluminum Trek 1000. My son's John Deere Racer probably weighs close to 35 lbs. It all depends on the quality of the steel in the tubing.
