Selling a lightly restored vintage MTB. This model was one of the first large-scale production MTBs ever. It's a large/XL frame, with a 21.5" seat tube and a 23.25" top tube. Diamond Back / Centurion spared no expense on this bike -- it's quite lightweight for its age, with impressive components. Looking to sell locally, but open to driving a reasonable distance to meet you. Happy to answer questions or take more pics, but please read full ad before asking for more info. Features: * Lugged frame with Tange Champion #5 tubing * Suntour Superbe Tech drivetrain -- shifters and rear derailleur were completely torn down, cleaned, and rebuilt * Suzue high-flange sealed bearing hubs * Sugino AT cranks -- 180 mm, great for tall riders * Suntour Alpha 5 speed 14-30 freewheel, NOS, installed a week ago * Dia-Compe 980 cantilever brakes with brand-new Aztec pads * Interesting swept-back bullmoose bars * Schwalbe Big Ben 26x2.1 tires for comfy urban cruising -- new * All-new Jagwire cables installed * Headset and bottom bracket recently fully serviced * New KMC chain * New WTB grips * Frame treated with frame saver while I had it apart * Still has dealer sticker for additional vintage cool factor Issues: * Paint chips here and there, but no rust -- this is not a museum bike, but still a looker! * Original Vetta/Centurion saddle is torn and a bit hard * Seatpost has some scoring (purely a cosmetic issue) * Wheels could use a little truing -- I may get to this before selling Free extras (if you want them): * A set of off-road tires, used but with plenty of life left * Original Suntour seatpost QR (the skewer part snapped in half) * A couple of black bottle cages I never installed[/QUOTE]
