Re: My newest old ride!
Fri, April 27, 2007 - 12:18 AMNot sure. I might be because I'm using ad blocker...when I check the links that are blocked, I notice that two ad scripts are blocked...and they are definitely blocked. I also have problems with youtube sometimes not playing or not being viewable...again, it may be adblocker that is doing this. In any case, I can see things fine from another browser like Opera, IE, or Safari...sorry I didn't remember that yesterday!

Re: My newest old ride!
Fri, April 27, 2007 - 12:23 AMHey, thanks for posting the pic to the album. I think I saw one of those at a store in Berkeley but they wouldn't sell it to me because it hadn't been prices...when I came back two days later to see how much they wanted for it, the bike was gone. It was a red one I think and I could tell it was a nice, nice bike that needed some good lovin' to get it back in shape. Your's looks like it has been well maintained. Any problems with it? -

Here's a thread on Centurions if you are interested...

Re: My newest old ride!
Fri, April 27, 2007 - 8:51 AMThanks. I think the model I saw was a red Le Mans, probably from the early 80s or late 70s. -

Re: My newest old ride!
Fri, April 27, 2007 - 9:02 AMThey are very nice, well-made bikes.
Centurion is still a big name in Germany and some other countries...;o)
You might run across another as they were big sellers here in the late 70's-early 80's...

Re: My newest old ride!
Tue, July 24, 2007 - 12:47 PMHey Alice:
I've been trying to ID by Motobecane Mirage, and I came across your photo from '05. I replied to that post, hoping the message would get to you. Just joined this 'tribe', kinda clunky getting around it. But I'm hoping you can link to it, and might be able to provide a bit more info re: your new ('older') ride! Thanks, Ben K
This link might help (?): tribes.tribe.net/bikenuts/...26201d5755
