Possible excellent go-fast conversion in *splendid condition*:
1984 Centurion Turbo, 55cm c-t ST / 55cm c-c TT, Tange #1 frame and fork:

A truly beautiful, classic handbuilt race frame - incredible fork
crown and brake bridge, dual h2o bosses, full braze-ons and cable
guides etc. Full chrome under gold-red sparkle metallic paint, only
very minor paint abrasions from living a garage queen's life.

126mm (6/7sp era) spacing, but a 130 wheel goes in easy. I pulled the
dropout limit screws from the rear, and clearances are *just* at the
threshold w/ Compass 700x32 Stampede Pass EL's. Surprisingly the
chainstays aren't the limiting factor but what's tightest is the back
brake bridge. Need I say this could be an awesome 650B? C'est plane,
boss c'est plane! ;-)

$300 with the rare and desirable Tange Aero headset or $250 without -
bikeflights shipping CONUS not included.
